Q2379788 Inglês
Based on the excerpt from Virginia Woolf's 'To the Lighthouse': '“So she looked over her shoulder, at the town. The lights were rippling and running as if they were drops of silver water held firm in a wind. And all the poverty, all the suffering had turned to that, Mrs. Ramsay thought. To the Lighthouse, she said to herself, raising her hand as if to let the bird fly free.' In the context of this passage, what does the term 'lighthouse' metaphorically represent in terms of the English vocabulary for objects and parts of the house?

READ TEXT 4 FOR THE QUESTION:


“(…) Black English (African American Vernacular –AAV), has a distinctive use of be as a main verb, expressing iteration rather than instantaneous or constant states. Although the Standard English phrases will be and would be can have a meaning similar to Black English be, phonological deletion of these modals cannot account for all occurrences of be in Black English. It is argued that the best analysis is one which recognizes only one verb to be, which can occur without tense.”

The large majority of humankind is more or less fluent in 2 or even more languages. This raises the fundamental question how the language network in the brain is organized such that the correct target language is selected at a particular occasion. Here we present particular behavioral and functional magnetic resonance imaging data showing that bilingual processing leads to language conflict in the bilingual brain even when the bilinguals' task only required target language knowledge. This finding demonstrates that the bilingual brain cannot avoid language conflict, because words from the target and nontarget languages become automatically activated during reading. Importantly, stimulus-based language conflict was found in brain regions in the LIPC associated with phonological and semantic processing, whereas response-based language con whereas flict was only found in the pre-supplementary motor area/anterior cingulate cortex when language conflict leads to response conflicts.


Index terms: event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging, interlingual homographs, lexical decision, pre-supplementary motor area and anterior cingulated, response conflict.

“Children learn, on average, ten to fifteen new word meanings each day, but only one of these words can be accounted for by direct instruction. The other nine to fourteen word meanings need to be picked up in some other way. It has been proposed that children picked up acquire these meanings with the use of processes modeled by latent semantic analysis; that is, when they meet an unfamiliar word, unfamiliar children can use information in its context to correctly guess its rough area of meaning. A child may expand the meaning and use of certain words that are already part of its mental lexicon in order to denominate anything that is somehow related but for which it does not know the specific words yet. For instance, a child may broaden the use of mummy and dada in order to indicate anything that mummy dada belongs to its mother or father, or perhaps every person who resembles its own parents, or say rain while meaning I don't want to go out.”

Leia o trecho e analise as assertivas a seguir:


The type of activity is popularly called ‘spot-the-differences’. The objective was to promote oral interaction in English by using WhatsApp with their pairs or trios, by recording audio messages, to describe and find at least 8 differences. The activity could be described as an information-gap and/or jigsaw task. In the former, each of the interactants had part of the answers and they needed to share information and negotiate meanings to accomplish the final objective of the activity. In the latter, each interactant held a different piece of information and supplied or requested this information as needed to complete the task (adapted from Salbego and Tumolo, 2020).


I.  A atividade faz uso da tecnologia para interação oral via aplicativo de mensagens ao mesmo tempo que explora recursos multimodais, como imagens, áudios, etc.
II. A atividade descrita acima pode ser utilizada em salas de aula virtuais, uma vez que sua natureza possibilita que os interagentes estejam fisicamente distantes.
III. A utilização de recursos visuais, como figurinhas e GIFs, pode ampliar as possibilidades de negociações de sentido entre os estudantes.

Brazilian language policies have historically contributed to the invention of a monolingual ideology that served the purposes of the colonial project, that is, the erasure of indigenous languages and the establishment of Portuguese as the national language under the premise ‘one language-one nation-one culture’ as pre-condition for the creation of a supposedly homogenous nation-State (Duboc; Siqueira, 2020).


I. A problemática apresentada no trecho perpetua visões de identidade, cultura e língua fundamentadas em aspirações de pureza, estabilidade e uniformização das noções de língua(gem). 
II. As questões trazidas pelos autores negligenciam o caráter híbrido, fluido e complexo que as língua(gens) têm na construção de sentidos.

Cultures are not characterised as bounded entities within national borders, but fluid and dynamic with blurred boundaries. Furthermore, cultures are viewed as heterogeneous, containing a great deal of variety among members (Baker, 2018).
ELF (as in English as a Lingua Franca) is by definition intercultural in nature since ELF communication is typically defined as involving speakers from different linguacultures (Baker,2015).
ELF research demonstrates how problematic it is to posit an inexorable link between particular languages and cultures, especially at the national level in intercultural communication (Baker,2018).
