Descrição funcional do português: teoria e ensino

Abstract

In this editorial project, we present the work Description Functional of Portuguese: Theory and Teaching, organized by me and Ivo da Costa do Rosário (UFF), the result of discussions that took place in the context of the National Meeting of the National Association for Postgraduate Studies and Research in Letters and Linguistics (ENANPOLL, June 27-29, 2018, UFMT). This is a collection of articles by researchers specializing in the description of Portuguese within the scope of the functional paradigm of language. Thus, the nine chapters that make up this work are united by seeking to explain the facts of language in the functioning of the linguistic system, understanding the communication of contextualized meanings as the activating mechanism of the complex in focus: the grammar of Portuguese. In this context, the texts gathered here present analyzes based on the perspectives of Functional Discursive Grammar, Systemic-Functional Linguistics, the Constructional Approach to Grammar, the Grammaticalization paradigm and Use-Centered Functional Linguistics.
