The topic of this text that opens the thematic section about linguistics for literacy is the relationship between linguistic studies developed according to different perspectives and literacy in its diverse facets. It has two objectives: 1) Approaching areas and linguistic points of view (without intending to be exhaustive) about literacy research and initial teaching of reading and writing; 2) announcing the seven studies that compose this thematic section and an interview with Professor Magda Soares. Among the authors whose texts are offered in this thematic section are renowned Brazilian scientists in the study of the literacy issue. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Linguistic knowledge is fundamental to the field of early literacy as it underpins methodologies, teacher training, and classroom performance. Therefore, the article's aim is to present the main contributions of linguistics to early literacy. Initially, the linguistic economy principle is examined and how it works, adding to this the contributions of linguistics to the zero or absence concept. Then, the Brazilian Portuguese processing units are defined and presented at the lowest levels, both in the oral and written systems. The difference between phoneme and sound and between letter and grapheme is also detailed to discuss invariance finally. Throughout the text, it is explained how the presented principles can be applied to the early literacy process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Os conhecimentos linguísticos são fundamentais para o campo da alfabetização, uma vez que fundamentam metodologias, formação de professores e a atuação em sala de aula. Por isso, o objetivo do artigo é apresentar as principais contribuições da linguística à alfabetização. Examina-se, inicialmente, o princípio da economia linguística e como ele funciona, somando a isso as contribuições da linguística ao princípio da economia e o conceito de zero ou ausência. Em seguida, são definidas e apresentadas as unidades de processamento do português do Brasil nos níveis mais baixos, tanto no sistema oral, quanto no escrito. Detalha-se também a diferença entre fonema e som e letra e grafema para, finalmente, discorrer sobre a invariância. Ao longo do texto se explica como os princípios apresentados podem ser aplicados ao processo de alfabetização.

Neste trabalho, vou me dedicar a três tópicos relacionados entre si: 1) a importância da Linguística Moderna no processo de ensino e de aprendizagem da leitura e da escrita; 2) alguns comentários especiais sobre política educacional em geral e elaboração dos currículos escolares; e 3) informações a respeito do projeto de alfabetização, chamado O Pulo do Sapo. Dos três tópicos, o que recebe mais destaque é O Pulo do Sapo, que é um projeto de alfabetização escolar elaborado levando em conta os conhecimentos linguísticos necessários ao ensino da alfabetização na escola, que constituem a base subjacente a todo processo de ensino e de aprendizagem da leitura e da escrita.

It is very common in these days the use of to race as a verb by scholars in language studies. A great range of these uses come from the global north with the use of languaging race or racing language (ALIM, 2016), what Severo (2019) terms in Portuguese as linguistificação da raça or discursivização racial da lingua. Although, the use has been increasingly present rather than what we have been said trough diverse uses. I myself in Autor (2019) proposed that name as a way to mark whiteness in discourse. In this paper I seek to discuss to embrace the criticism to the many ways of how to use that verb (racing) to understand the existing boundaries in the use of that word in linguistics.

Ser professor implica uma formação de base específica, que, segundo Shulman (1987), assenta-se na interseção entre o conhecimento pedagógico e o conhecimento do conteúdo, numa triangulação com o conhecimento do contexto. Uma formação docente baseada neste quadro teórico favorecerá o desenvolvimento de práticas mais sustentadas e atualizadas, determinantes para o desenvolvimento de competências múltiplas e para a abordagem de vários conteúdos (trans)disciplinares. Neste artigo, refletiremos sobre as pontes possíveis e necessárias entre a Linguística e a Didática, advogando uma inseparabilidade entre o ensino da língua e da literatura nos primeiros anos de ensino formal. Apresentaremos como evidências a análise de conteúdo de um percurso semanal integrador para os 1.º e 2.º anos de escolaridade do programa #EstudoEmCasa, decorrido durante o primeiro confinamento em Portugal, no quadro da pandemia provocada pela COVID-19.

Being a teacher requires a specific basic training, which, according to Shulman (1987), is based on the intersection between pedagogical knowledge and content knowledge, in a triangulation with the knowledge of the context. A teacher training based on this theoretical framework will favor the development of more sustained and updated practices, which are crucial for the development of multiple competencies and for the approach of various (trans)disciplinary contents. In this article, we will reflect on the possible and necessary bridges between Linguistics and Didactics, advocating an inseparability between the teaching of language and literature in the first years of formal education. We will present as evidence the content analysis of a weekly integrating route for the 1st and 2nd years of schooling of the #EstudoEmCasa program, which took place during the first confinement in Portugal, in the context of the pandemic caused by COVID-19.

Inspired by Ted Chiang's novel Story of Your Life (1999) and its cinematographic counterpart, Denis Villeneuve's Arrival (2016) (scripted by Eric Heisserer under the supervision of linguists Jessica Coon and Morgan Sonderegger), this essay has a twofold intention. Firstly, it intends to carry out a brief analysis of such works, highlighting some of its merits and weaknesses. Secondly, based on the arguments presented throughout the analysis, it aims to reflect upon the marginality of the science of language in the sci-fi genre, and on science fiction itself, as a solution to escape that condition.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the relationship that steps of rhetoric -- 'reporting previous research', 'stating research gap' and 'stating real world problems' -- hold with the proposing of projects written by expert researchers in Linguistics. The research is inscribed in the Socio-rhetorical and is based on Swales (1990, 2004), Berkenkotter e Huckin (1995), Connor e Mauranen (1995), Motta-Roth e Hendges (2010), Lim (2012, 2014) e Alves Filho (2018). The sample is composed of 12 Linguistic research projects. The steps were quantified and characterized in their rhetorical and lexical aspects, as well as the relationship that these strategies had with each other and with the proposition of the research. The results indicate that previous research and research gaps are little used as an argument for a new research and, in contrast, the search for real world problem solving is assumed as the main motivating element.

In assuming the absence of a pure synonymy between two natural languages, we inquire about the validity of this postulate to linguistic units that provide grammatical information, as in the case of two pronominal forms of second person. From this initial consideration, this article aims to reflect on the following questions: (i) what meanings can be looked up in monolingual dictionaries regarding the singular Spanish pronouns; (ii) what relationships can be established between the lexical meaning and the social deixis linked by the pronominal forms of the second person; and (iii) what are the impacts of this phenomenon to the work of translation. The theoretical debate proposed here is based both on the field of Linguistics and on Translation Studies, making use of theories on social deixis, verbal politeness and postulates of Tradutology.

This paper aims at delineating a brief epistemological overview of the notion of subject in the theoretical science of language. Paying attention to epistemological movements proposed by Domingues (1999) in the humanities, it is proposed a discussion about the place of subject in the theoretical and conceptual Modern Linguistics field, from its foundation as a science, by Ferdinand de Saussure, passing through the generative theory, functionalist and enunciative proposes, until reaching the discourse theory proposed by Pêcheux, a theoretical space whose foundations about the notion of subject are the main point of discussion. The objective here is, through a brief overview and a discursive collation, to highlight the movements of rubbing out/pointing out, unifying/dispersing the subject in the language world, showing the theoretical displacements that French Discourse Analysis promoted throughthe epistemological conjunction of its constitution as a discourse theory, centered on the vertices of Marxism, Linguistics and Psycho analysis.
