<p>In this paper, I discuss the prosodic status of words formed by morphological derivation in Brazilian Portuguese (BP). Considering three types of prosodization - composition, adjunction and incorporation (Booij, 1996; Ito &amp; Mester, 2008; Vigário, 2011) -, I propose that prefixes in BP are subject to all of them, whereas suffixes are subject only to incorporation and composition, not to adjunction. The main argument to support this analysis comes from the diagnostic of stress assignment. In addition, I examine other phonological processes that occur within words in contrast to processes that occur at word boundaries, as well as the morphosyntactic behavior of the affixes involved. In addition, based on this description, I seek to problematize some consequences of this typology for the organization of the prosodic hierarchy and its effects on morphological transparency.</p>

O objetivo deste artigo foi examinar se os aprendizes brasileiros de inglês têm consciência sobre a alocação do acento nuclear de inglês, e se esta é afetada pelo tipo de sentença. Atualmente, poucos estudos têm sido conduzidos sobre a aquisição suprassegmental do inglês por falantes brasileiros. Os estudos prévios mostram que a aquisição de acento nuclear é difícil para aprendizes de inglês (ZUBIZARRETA; NAVA, 2011). No entanto, o uso adequado do acento nuclear deve ser uma prioridade para aprendizes de LE porque o seu uso inadequado leva a mal-entendidos. Os participantes foram 69 aprendizes brasileiros de inglês e 16 falantes nativos de inglês. A sensibilidade ao acento nuclear na LE foi medida num teste de percepção que apresentou sentenças com filtro passa-baixa que variavam nos padrões de entoação. Os resultados mostraram que os aprendizes brasileiros de inglês manifestavam uma sensibilidade mais baixa ao acento nuclear de inglês que os falantes nativos de inglês (F(1, 83) =55.95, p <.001, η2 =.40). Além do mais, a sensibilidade variava em função do tipo de sentença, de tal maneira que somente as orações que terminavam em categorias funcionais (76%) mostravam desempenho acima do nível estatisticamente esperado ao acaso. Nas orações inacusativas (40%) e desacentuadas terminadas em informação dada (52%), o desempenho estava abaixo ou no nível estatisticamente esperado ao acaso. Os resultados sugerem que instrução explícita sobre a prosódia de L2 seria benéfica inclusive aos aprendizes brasileiros de inglês com um nível avançado de proficiência.

The book “In search of explanations about African words: an investigation in some Brazilian dictionaries and / or glossaries (1889-2006)” raises controversial and relevant questions about the usefulness of Africanism for Brazil and the delimitation between Afro-Brazilian and africanists studies. The work is one of the results of the work that the author has been developing throughout his long and rich academic life. The author shows enthusiasm for the study of Brazilian Africanism, especially in what concerns on the relationships that are established between words and culture.It shows the participation of African languages in the constitution of the Brazilian Portuguese lexicon, since it considers that studies in this area have been taking place very slowly. Therefore, this work intends to promote the production of future researches that discuss about the social place of African words in Brazilian Portuguese. It makes a point of which we should have no doubt in affirming - unequivocally and systematically - that one can speak of Brazilian Africanism. It takes as a starting point the analysis of dictionaries and glossaries (1889-2006), while taking a retrospective look.It reflects, with such observation, about what is classified as Africanism in the Brazilian Portuguese lexicon. It suggests the need to draw a line between Afro-Brazilian and Africanists studies. Finally, it is expected that such a work can bring new look and perspectives. It is even verified that, in his text, there is a lot of work for everyone. That´s why this work in this book is considered by the author as a singular value.
