The operative functioning of EM in the constitution of modal representations
In dialogue with important linguistic works, in this article, we propose, supported by the Theory of Predicative and Enunciative Operations (TOPE), founded by Antoine Culioli, to present, based on the description of the diversity of uses of the EM marker, which occurs in the modal domain, a hypothesis in terms of the magnet property which explains why these representations are established by such a preposition and not any others.

The lexicon in intralinguistic and interlinguistic translation work
This paper aims to present some research questions about the translation process in the teaching and learning of Portuguese as a native and foreign language. The motivation for its development was the identification of linguistic occurrences present in students' textual productions whose characteristics were lexical inaccuracies. Such occurrences led us to raise our research hypothesis, namely, that lexical inaccuracies would be linguistic uses resulting from the exercise of language-to-language translation, a predominant method in the school tradition. These questions pointed out and observed under the light of the Theory of Enunciative Operations, a framework authored by Antoine Culioli, allowed us to argue that the concept of translation in the context of language teaching and learning should be approached in the articulation between language and natural languages, a process in which epilinguistic, linguistic and metalinguistic activities are related.

Toward an enunciative-discursive analysis of the column “Correio feminino – feira de utilidades” by Helen Palmer (pseudonym of Clarice Lispector): observations on the discursive ethos and the scene of enunciation
The purpose of this article is to analyze, from an enunciative-discourse perspective, the column Correio Feminino – Feira de Utilidades written by Helen Palmer (pseudonym of Clarice Lispector). Following the studies of Dominique Maingueneau, the concepts of discursive ethos and scene of enunciation are mobilized to carry out the analyses. The analysis shows how the ethos of the enunciator emerges in the three enunciative scenes (enclosing scene, generic scene and scenography): (i) the first analytical path seeks to show the values of typically feminine ethos that emerge from the encompassing scene (female press); (ii) the second analytical path shows how the generic scene is typically constituted by discursive genres of incitement to action, giving rise to an expert counselor ethos; (iii) in the third and final path, we analyze how the scenography brings out the ethos of the clever woman.

Marco do Jauru, memorable from the Treaty of Madrid: enunciative historical traces that speak of the boundaries between Portugal and Spain
The text, Marco do Jauru, memorable from the Treaty of Madrid: enunciative historical traces that speak of the limits between Portugal and Spain, is part of a more comprehensive study on analyses of urban plans, architectural and monument plans, in general, considered in their history in relation to texts that cut out memorables, and specify a particular history. In this sense, we aim to show how the Jauru Landmark is taken as a historical monument that divides the borders of Cáceres and the State of Mato Grosso, brokered by the memorable Treaty of Madrid. The corpus is made up of diverse materialities and the Jauru Landmark. The theoretical-methodological ordering is based on the studies developed by Eduardo Guimarães (2002-2018); Dias (2018) and Cavenagh, (2016). With the analyses, it is possible to say that the Monument, by articulating itself with linguistic and non-linguistic elements, constitutes meanings and signifies in the functioning of language, through ways of saying, whose temporality, the specific one, signifies, designates and historicizes unique events. Therefore, the Jauru Landmark, as a Monument, produces meanings of projection and geographical division in the physical and political aspects, planted in and of the urban space listed in the historic center of the city of Cáceres- MT.

An enunciative analysis of over: reflections for teaching grammar
This work is part of the theoretical framework called the Theory of Predicative and Enunciative Operations (TOPE) by Antoine Culioli (1990). We propose to use the Culiolian concept of Notion to present an alternative to what we identify as an excessively “instrumental” approach to teaching foreign languages, present, above all, in traditional teaching. To this end, we analyze ten occurrences of the English mark over, which represents a didactic challenge due to its enormous polysemy. At the end of this study, we hope to demonstrate how enunciation can contribute to teaching grammar.

Semantic opacity and compositionality: an experimental study on amador and amar
This paper investigates the semantic relationship between amador and amar, analyzing the phenomenon of semantic opacity in the context of word formation in Brazilian Portuguese. The experimental research, conducted with university students, employed morphological and semantic association tests. Besides the derivative amador, three groups of words were analyzed: semantically transparent derivatives, simple words, and pseudowords, the latter serving as distractors. The results indicated that semantic transparency favors the recognition of lexical composition, while amador, due to its ambiguity, showed a lower association with amar.

The modes of functioning of the verb ‘tomar’ in Portuguese language statements: a study biased by Tope
In this article, we aim to apprehend the enunciative processes that lead to the construction of meanings for the verb ‘tomar’ as well as to evidence its functioning when combined with other linguistic units. We took as a theoretical foundation for our study the linguistic research program developed by Antoine Culioli, the Theory of Predicative and Enunciative Operations (CULIOLI, 1990, 1999a, 1999b). Starting from this, we observed the functioning of this verb when combined with compact, discret and dense complements and analyzed its occurrences from three utterances and proved the thesis that linguistic units proliferate meanings because of the different interactions sustained by enunciative processes, that is, because of the various linguistic developments and given to the experiences of the enunciating subjects with the world and with language.

The circulation of fake news and its effects on society
In this article, we present the viewpoints of authors who study/discuss the linguistic phenomenon of fake news in three moments: 1st - the first records in Europe and the United States and its massification in Brazil; 2nd - the Brazilian journalistic press in the service of fact-checking; and 3rd - the documents drawn up to combat its dissemination in Brazil. In this sense, we take fake news as a linguistic event, not as a fact in time, but rather in the relationship between a memory and an actual state of speech, a theoretical perspective proposed by Dias (2018a, 2018b).

Slavery in Mato Grosso: language policy and colonization
This study aims to address the institutionalization of slavery in the state of Mato Grosso, specifically in the 18th and 19th centuries in relation to Indians and Africans, analyzing the Quilombos of Mato Grosso, as a space of enunciation, anchored in the Semantics of the Event, formulated by Guimarães (2002), who considers that the analysis of the meaning of language should focus on the study of enunciation, that is, the event of saying.

O filho que nasce por último: caçula ou surrapa?: um estudo lexical na fronteira Brasil-Bolívia
Este estudo analisa a variação lexical dos termos caçula (português) e surrapa (espanhol boliviano) na perspectiva diatópica, considerando as localidades de Cáceres (Brasil) e San Matías (Bolívia). Com base na Dialetologia Pluridimensional e Relacional de Thun (1998), investiga-se a distribuição geográfica dessas variantes lexicais para compreender os efeitos do contato linguístico na fronteira. Os resultados indicam a predominância de caçula em ambos os territórios, representando 92% das ocorrências, enquanto surrapa aparece em apenas 8%, concentrando-se em San Matías. Essa assimetria sugere uma maior influência do português brasileiro na zona fronteiriça, evidenciando o fenômeno do continuum linguístico do português em território boliviano (Silva, 2022). O estudo reforça a relevância da variação diatópica na análise de fenômenos linguísticos em áreas de contato e contribui para a compreensão das dinâmicas de influência entre línguas na região.

The use of rhotacism in the digital space: a sociolinguistic approach analysis
This article analyzes the use of the phonological phenomenon of rhotacism in the digital space, focusing on social media in the cities of Cuiabá and Cáceres. The research investigates how this linguistic variant manifests itself in online interactions and its impacts on regional linguistic identity. Based on theoretical references such as Amaral (1982), Bagno (1999), Calvet (2002), Stuart Hall (2006) and Marroquim (1934), the study adopts a sociolinguistic approach to examine a corpus composed of posts from the pages “Xômano que mora logo ali”, “Cáceres Mil Grau” and “Kbeca Pensante”. The results indicate that rhotacism plays a significant role in the digital environment, reinforcing the appreciation of local linguistic identity and promoting a sense of cultural belonging among speakers in the region.

The use of nominal gender agreement in the speech of the cacerense community in the Upper Pantanal of Mato Grosso
This article presents a compilation of data presented in Karim's research (2004; 2012), which investigated variation in nominal gender agreement in the speech of the community of Cáceres, in the Alto Pantanal of Mato Grosso. This compilation of data, in this new article, is justified by the importance of highlighting the coexistence of the use of the grammatical standard, according to the norms of normative grammar and the Cáceres standard, with the absence of gender agreement that manifests itself in the speech of the Cáceres community in different situations. Based on interviews with 36 native speakers, the sociolinguistic analysis identified factors that condition this variation, such as age, schooling and communicative situation. The data indicates that the use of the grammatical pattern in the interviewees' speech is predominant among young people (85%) and individuals with higher education (90%), suggesting a strong influence of schooling and contact with formal norms. On the other hand, the use of the Cacerense standard, characterized by variation in gender agreement, is more frequent among speakers over 50 (55%) and with less schooling (50%), reflecting orality and local cultural identity. The results show a gradual process of linguistic change, in which the standard norm gains ground without completely eliminating regional variants. These results also show how the relationship between socio-economic and cultural factors creates conditions for the conservation of peculiar uses and old features of the Portuguese language brought by the region's colonizers. The preservation of these traits can be explained by the long period of isolation that the Cáceres region has experienced in relation to Brazil's major urban centers.

Conexões digitais entre Cáceres e San Matias: uma análise de memes do perfil Soy matieño como retrato do cotidiano transfronteiriço brasileiro-boliviano
Utilizando como fonte de investigação memes publicados no perfil “Soy Matieño” retirados da rede social Facebook, este artigo aborda as conexões socioculturais e linguísticas entre as cidades-gêmeas Cáceres (Brasil) e San Matias (Bolívia). Empregando como abordagem metodológica a Sociolinguística, o presente estudo analisa de que maneira os memes refletem e negociam as dinâmicas linguísticas e culturais de uma fronteira em que o português e o espanhol estão em constante contato e mistura. O artigo argumenta a respeito da construção da identidade fronteiriça, da hibridação linguística e de como essas duas comunidades discutidas lidam com os questionamentos de pertencimento e alteridade.

LINGUISTIC CONTACT AND SOCIODISCURSIVE PRACTICES IN THE TWIN CITIES CÁCERES (BRAZIL) AND SAN MATÍAS (BOLIVIA)
This paper analyzes the effects of language contact in the twin cities of Cáceres, in Mato Grosso, Brazil, and San Matías, in the province of Ángel Sandoval, Bolivia. Based on the variationist sociolinguistics of Weinreich, Labov and Herzog (1968), which highlights the intrinsic relationship between language and society, the study describes how the social practices and socio-discursive context of these cities influence linguistic variation on the border. The research adopts a theoretical approach that recognizes language as a phenomenon inseparable from its social context, highlighting the interaction between language and culture. The data was collected from internet users' speeches on Brazilian and Bolivian social network pages on the Facebook platform, highlighting the privileging of the process of intercomprehension as a proposal for the didactics of intercomprehension in the twin cities. In addition, a social overview of the cities was drawn up to show how social aspects condition linguistic variation on the border. The analysis revealed the influence of Portuguese-Spanish bilingualism and cultural contact in shaping local linguistic identities.

The Importance of Theoretical Framework in Language Understanding: A Dialogical Perspective Applied to a Multilingual Context of the Amazon Border
This article discusses the importance of theoretical frameworks in the study of language, with an emphasis on the dialogic perspective proposed by Valentin Volóchinov (2018). The research is contextualized in the multilingual environment of Bonfim (RR), on the border with Guyana, highlighting the interaction between Indigenous languages, Portuguese, English, and Creole. Based on the concept of language as a social construct, the study explores the relevance of verbal interaction to understanding linguistic practices in bilingual and multilingual contexts, emphasizing the contribution of a solid theoretical foundation to critical linguistic research.

Tense and memory in the linguistic production of a deaf student in Youth and Adult Education -EJA
This paper aims to analyze the production of meanings with through categories memory, tense and identities in the narratives produced by a student, considered by the school community as deaf, in Youth and Adult Education (Educação de Jovens e Adultos/EJA), enrolled in Youth and Adult Education Center (Centro de Educação de Jovens e Adultos/CEJA) in the city of Rio Branco, Acre. Using a qualitative-based methodology with a descriptive-interpretive approach and the Oral History method (Portelli, 1997) with an interview technique, we observed that the memories produced by the student constitute him as a subject who does not identify himself as a deaf person, bearing in mind that the understanding of deafness only begins to happen after he enters in the school, where he will be titled as such and will begin to study the Brazilian Sign Language/Libras, which demonstrates that deaf identities are language constructions. In this sense, Libras is recognized as the mother tongue of Brazilian deaf communities, which, for the aforementioned subject, is a problem, considering the identity and cultural transitions he built and went through throughout his life inside and outside of school.

Política de la despolitización y tecnócratas en la enseñanza
En un primer momento, me propongo considerar un corpus constituido por algunos enunciados que incluyen los términos “desigualdad”, “vulnerabilidad”, “pobreza”, “igualdad”, “equidad” y “educación”. En un segundo momento, la propia constitución de esta “constelación” de signos me llevará a reconsiderar algunos aspectos de la teoría del valor saussureana, en aras de mostrar no solo su actualidad y su operatividad analítica, sino también una manera de entender la articulación de langue et discours.

“Radical Bolsonarism”: on media discourse and the banalization of violence
In this paper, we propose a reflection on the discursive functioning of the media regarding the attacks on January 8th on the National Congress. We are in the theoretical-methodological perspective of Materialist Discourse Analysis to understand how the event was discursivized by two medias: TV Unicamp and Jornal Nacional. Furthermore, we try to understand that the way news is presented has different effects of meaning, specifically in the sense of the “radical” adjective to Bolsonarism, showing, in the thread of discourse, a movement of disputes over meanings already underway by discursive memory

Sentidos sobre a academia da saúde: deslocamento do belo para o saudável em uma política projetada para um sujeito universal
Este estudo objetiva analisar os sentidos produzidos sobre o corpo do sujeito, por meio das academias populares, instaladas nos espaços urbanos, como forma de o Estado garantir o direito a uma vida mais saudável. A pesquisa se filia à teoria da Análise de Discurso materialista, seleciona como corpus de pesquisa a política pública do Estado, intitulada “Programa Academia da Saúde” instituído pela Portaria nº 2.681 de 7 de novembro do ano de 2013 e recorta como material de análise os discursos que comparecem no conjunto de aparelhos de exercícios físicos disponibilizados, ao ar livre, e em espaços públicos. Queremos entender como estas políticas, por meio do “Programa Academia da Saúde”, atuam como uma forma de intervenção do poder público na vida do sujeito, ou seja, visam formar na sociedade um sujeito saudável que possa produzir mais para os meios capitalistas, gerando mais lucro aos cofres públicos e menos prejuízos em hospitais nos cuidados/tratamentos variados de saúde. Além disso, depreendemos que a Academia Preventiva do Governo trabalha o imaginário de Sujeito Universal sem considerar suas diferenças.

Politics and power relations: the intersection of hate speech in the discursive practices of racism
In this study, inscribed in the theory of Materialist Discourse Analysis, we aim to analyze the discourses on racism in relation to the senses of hatred arising from the political and social field, producing a regularity. The country, which is constituted by an imaginary of cultural diversity and the joy of its people, begins to be seen as an increasingly hostile place. We propose a theoretical-analytical path that allows us to understand which power relations sustain and legitimize public manifestations of racism. And what is the movement of meanings that makes racism and hatred move from a space of prohibition to a space of exposure. We selected as analysis material the video in which a white woman whips a black man on a public road in the city of Rio de Janeiro-RJ and had great repercussion in digital media, as it triggers meanings related to the Brazilian slavery period.

Bullying and racism in the discourse of students who are victims of school violence
The functioning of a discriminatory discourse is still present in schools and is one of the main causes of bullying and racism. The aim of this article is to analyze, according to Pecheuxtian Discourse Analysis, the discourse of a subject-student in High School, from a public school in the interior of São Paulo, who was bullied in elementary school. The analyses point to the naturalization of racism and the practice of bullying, at school, and the meanings move between silencing the victim, in some cases, and resistance in others.
