A satirical channel gave a Brazilian congressman's face to an invented character who admits serving the rich. An essay asks what political debate becomes when the joke looks like the record. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #AI
A headmaster fences off an ancestral path because he will not hear the priest explaining what it means. An essay by Neuda Lago reads five works where form itself does the critical work. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #decolonialStudies
Twenty-four years of Brazilian graduate research on Portuguese, sorted by hand into seven groups after reading every title and abstract in the set. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #methods
Cataloging looks like the least interesting part of scholarship. A theoretical essay argues it is where the decisive choices happen: an uncatalogued document is, for practical purposes, an absent one. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #archives
In 1942, Hermine Topker taught foreigners 'você' rather than 'tu', reflecting how Brazilians actually spoke at a time when most grammar books refused to acknowledge it. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #PFL
Platforms need you to be the same person across sessions, or there's nothing to sell. An essay argues that environments refusing that record produce a user who can't be filed. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #discourseanalysis
Calling your opponent a "disguised communist" describes no one. A study analyzed six excerpts from a mayoral podcast interview and showed what the label does: it ends the debate before it starts. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #politicaldiscourse
Same person, same word, two listeners disagreeing about which accent they just heard. That gap between what gets produced and what gets perceived is why accent change is measured from the signal rather than settled by argument. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #accents
Associate Editor at Cadernos de Linguística, Sterre Leufkens compares grammars from across the world to ask what makes one language harder to learn than another, and turns that into tools for teachers. cadernos.abralin.org/index.php/ca...
Asked about a Brazilian regional word, ChatGPT produced a confident answer about medieval Portugal, with bold headings and a summary line. The one model that hedged and asked for context was Sabiá, built in Brazil, trained on Brazilian data. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #AIbias
In Cadernos de Linguística, peer reviews are published alongside the article. Anyone can read what Guilherme Adorno (UNICAMP) wrote about this essay on comment moderation. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #openaccess
If code decides who gets seen and who gets flattened into a stereotype, an essay argues, then the fix isn't a patch. It's rewriting the grammar that produced the bias in the first place. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #AIethics
Debates about how to teach a national language are not new. An essay revisits sixty years of Brazilian linguistics grappling with that very question. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #brazil
Neuda Lago researches how English-language literatures are taught to future teachers. Here she reads five works to argue that interpreting a text also means learning to listen. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #socialJustice
An essay on reading as ethical listening went through an editorial process its author calls careful and clear. Neuda Lago on publishing with Cadernos de Linguística. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #socialJustice
Computer-generated voices are getting hard to tell from human ones. What still gives them away? A study of Venezuelan Spanish measured the melody of statements and questions in both, moment by moment. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #speechtech
Brazil keeps a national record of every thesis defended in the country. Researchers searched it for one phrase, "description of Portuguese," and found 176 studies written between 2000 and 2024. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #Portuguese
Before the program and after it: this pilot study listened to four teachers' voices at every stage to map how a speech-language workshop series changed the way they sounded. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #education
A language collection cannot include everything. Every archivist has to decide what is worth keeping. A theoretical essay argues this decision is never made without political stakes. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #archives
Brazil holds the world's third largest prison population. A study on an ANTRA booklet asks what the everyday language of denunciation can do when the law is already on the books but not enforced. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #socialmovements
"A scientific text that can't speak to different audiences loses part of its power to transform." Ramon Almeida, co-author of the "Abrindo o Verbo" podcast study, on publishing in Cadernos de Linguística. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #openscience
Both authors have studied political discourse before, always asking what political words leave out. Here, they turn to a mayoral podcast interview in Brazil. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #politicaldiscourse
Each step in CadLin's editorial process is built to strengthen the final work. Leandro Silveira de Araujo, on publishing his research on Brazil's 1942 Portuguese manual for foreigners. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #PFL
Which Portuguese gets taught — the formal rulebook or the language people actually speak? Leandro Silveira de Araujo researches that question. His latest work looks at Brazil's only Portuguese manual for foreigners in 1942. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #PFL
Instead of treating stutters as isolated glitches, this project analyzes them as part of the same rhythm that organizes all speech, built on two coupled internal "clocks" for stress and syllables. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #speechrhythm
A candidate calls his rival a "disguised communist." A study analyzing a mayoral podcast interview found that the phrase does real work: it saves the speaker from arguing against actual proposals. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #politicalspeech
Two widely used browsers both claim to protect your privacy, but they mean something different by it. One builds a stable profile to sell. The other tries to scatter it each session. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #digitalrights
Júlio Araújo (UFC) coined "necroalgorithmization": how AI systems automate exclusion. His essay tests the idea on a concrete case: what happens when you search "ugly hair" on Google Images. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #algorithmicbias
Ronaldo de Oliveira Batista, Associate Editor at Cadernos de Linguística, studies the history of linguistics in Brazil, tracing rivalries between theoretical schools. That view guides his editorial judgment. cadernos.abralin.org/index.php/ca...
