In the present article, we intend to present reflections on questions that are not easily answered when applying the Phonetic-Phonological Questionnaire (QFF) and the Semantic-Lexical Questionnaire (QSL). These questionnaires integrate the methodology of the Brazilian Linguistic Atlas Project (ALiB), a dialectological orientation project that aims to describe and map the variation and linguistic diversity of Brazilian Portuguese. We will focus specifically on the selection and analysis of questions used to collect data whose use presents difficulty when collecting. We limit ourselves to the presentation, reflection and discussion of questions 32 and 41 of the questionnaire applied by the ALiB. Question 32 integrates the QFF and aims to obtain the ‘abóbora’ (pumpkin) form. Question 41 is already part of the QSL and has as one of the expected variants ‘camomila’ (chamomile). The main hypothesis in the explanation of the facts is that there is pressure from social factors, not only from the classical factors, but also from the social evaluation of linguistic forms, as well as the historical-cultural factor, an integral part of the linguistic-cultural reality of any community investigated.

SUMMARY This paper aims to show how structural and social factors can interact to bring about syntactic change. The interaction is exemplified by the case of an innovation in the easy construction which is first found in late Middle English texts. The reason for this innovation was a reanalysis of an existing sentence-type, but the impetus for this reanalysis probably came from diffusion of the sentence-type from one variety of Middle English to another. The social factors involved are expressed in a model using the social network as a basic concept; several advantages of using this model are discussed. The wider implication of this case-history is that many historical syntactic changes may need to be reworked taking into account possible effects of diffusion in a situation of linguistic variability and heterogeneity. A taxonomy of such effects is proposed. RÉSUMÉ Dans le présent article on examine comment l'interaction de facteurs structurels et sociaux peut causer des changements syntaxiques. Cette interaction est exemplifiée par une innovation dans la 'tough' construction dans l'anglais du XVe siècle. Selon l'évidence présentée ici, cette innovation fut provoquée par une réanalyse d'un type de phrase qui existait dans la langue. Cependant la réanalyse s'est probablement effectuée quand ces types de construction se sont répandus d'une variété de l'anglais moyen à une autre. Pour analyser les facteurs sociaux, un modèle basé sur le concept de 'réseau social' est utilisé. Les avantages d'un tel modèle sont démontrés. L'implication de ce cas est que beaucoup de changements syntaxiques historiques doivent être réconsidérés en tenant compte des effets potentiels de diffusion dans une situation linguistique variable et heterogène. Une taxonomie de tels effets est proposée. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Ziel dieses Aufsatzes ist es, zu zeigen, wie das Zusammenwirken von strukturellen und sozialen Faktoren syntaktischen Wandel verursachen kann. Diese Interaktion wird illustriert mithilfe einer Innovation innerhalb der Tough'-Konstruktion, die erst in spätmittelenglischen Texten zu finden ist. Ursache fur diese Innovation war eine Reinterpretation eines bestehenden Satz-typs, aber der eigentliche Impetus fur eine solche neue Interpretation war wahr-scheinlich die Übertragung solcher Sätze von einer Varietät des Mitteleng-lischen in eine andere. Ein Modell, das mit dem 'sozialen Netzwerk' als Basisbegriff operiert, wird angewendet, um relevante soziale Faktoren zu be-schreiben, die hierbei eine Rolle gespielt haben müßten. Verschiedene Vorteile dieses Modells werden vorgestellt. Die Implikation dieser Fallstudie ist, daB es notig ist, viele syntaktische Wandlungen aufs Neue zu studieren, um festzu-stellen, welchen EinfluB etwaige Diffusionsprozesse in einer Situation sprachli-cher Variabilität und Heterogenität gehabt haben mögen. Eine Taxonomie solcher Einflüsse wird vorgestellt.

Resumen: En las últimas décadas, debido a factores sociales diversos, asistimos al desarrollo y a la transformación de las prácticas deportivas. En el presente artículo llevamos a cabo un estudio longitudinal de la práctica deportiva entre los años 1995 y 2014, en España, entre la población de 18 años y más, de ambos  sexos, atendiendo a las relaciones sociales que se dan en la práctica deportiva. El análisis, obtenido a partir de bases de datos nacionales, ha demostrado la hipótesis principal de estudio en base al análisis de tendencias de práctica del deporte, puesto que la práctica del deporte individual ha aumentado frente a formas de prácticas colectivas junto a amigos o familia. Mostramos, también, las variaciones de la práctica deportiva dependiendo del tipo de relación primaria que se establece en el deporte según sexo, edad, hábitat, ocupación, formación, forma de hacer deporte, grado de competición, frecuencia, instalaciones deportivas utilizadas, tipo de deporte practicado, horas de tiempo libre y sensación subjetiva de felicidad.Abstract: We have seen a transformation in the development of sporting activities over recent decades. There are a number of social factors behind this. In this article, we report a longitudinal study of sporting activities in Spain between 1995 and 2014 among the population aged 18 and over, including both sexes, examining the social relationships that arise in sporting activities. Our analysis is based on national databases and analysis of trends in sporting activities. It demonstrates the main hypothesis of the study, which is that individual sporting activities have increased compared to group activities with family and friends. We also examine changes in sporting activities depending on the primary relations established in the sport, by sex, age, habitat, occupation, educational level, the form in which the sport is practised, the degree of competition, frequency, the sports facilities used, the type of sport, hours of free time and the subjective sensation of happiness.

Canada's rate of suicide varies from province to province. The classical theory of suicide, which attempts to explain the social suicide rate, stems from Durkheim, who argued that low levels of social integration and regulation are associated with high rates of suicide. The present study explored whether social factors (divorce, marriage, and birth rates) do in fact predict suicide rates over time for each province (period studied: 1950-1990). The results showed a positive association between divorce rates and suicide rates, and a negative association between birth rates and suicide rates. Marriage rates showed no consistent association, an anomaly as compared to research from other nations.

In examining the strikingly high prevalence rates of HIV in many parts of Africa, reaching as high as 5% in some areas, how does the discourse promoted by the predominant religions across the continent, Islam and Christianity, affect the outlook of their followers on the epidemic? This question becomes even more intriguing after discovering the dramatic difference in rate of HIV prevalence between Muslims and Christians in Africa, confirmed by studies that have found a negative relationship to exist between HIV prevalence and being Muslim in Africa, even in Sub-Saharan African nations. Why does this gap in prevalence rates exist? Does Islam advocate participating in less risky behavior more so than Christianity? By comparing the social construction, epidemiological understanding and public responses among Muslim populations in Africa with Christian ones, it becomes apparent that many similarities exist between the two regarding discourse and that, rather than religious discourse itself, other social factors, such as circumcision practices, contribute more to the disparity in HIV prevalence than originally thought.

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.

The present article focuses on one of the Greek delicacies mentioned by Photius and Eustathius, i.e. a Lydian import called kandaulos/kandylos. The dish was developed before the mid. VI th c. BC and named after a Lydian king, Kandaules, who ruled in the VII th c. BC. The delicacy was (via the Ionians) borrowed by the Helens and established itself in Greece sometime in the V th c. It became popular in Hellenistic times. The information we possess allow us to reconstruct two varieties of kandaulos/ kandylos. The first was savoury and consisted of cooked meat, stock, Phrygian cheese, breadcrumbs and dill (or fennel). The other included milk, lard, cheese and honey. The dish is reported to have been costly, prestigious and indicating the social status of those who would eat it. Though there is much evidence suggesting its popularity in antiquity, we lack solid evidence proving that kaunaudlos/kandylos was eaten in Byzantine times. On the other hand, Byzantine authors preserved the most detailed literary data on the delicacy. If it had not been for the Byzantine interest, our competence in the field of Greek cuisine would be even faultier.

Fundamental sociological theories of migration study reveal the motives for an individual’s and households’ making decision to migrate, as well as the social factors and consequences of the unfolding of migration processes. Structural changes taking place in society caused by both the innovative nature of economic growth as a whole and the digitalization and expansion of information and telecommunications technologies imply the perception of the phenomenon of migration not only as a territorial movement of the population in space for a long period. Digitalization and development of remote forms of work, in particular, reduces the need for physical concentration of human resources, which allows people to choose the most comfortable places to live. Special attention is paid to the Diaspora, which is one of the important tools for solving communication difficulties. The sociological analysis of migration processes in Armenia illustrates the application of the main concepts, in particular, networked migration and reliance on the Diaspora.
