Análise do Discurso Digital
Marie-Anne Paveau, Julia Lourenço Costa, Roberto Leiser Baronas
This original and thought-provoking book by Marie-Anne Paveau provides a solid foundation for a deep reflection on how native internet discourses operate. Perhaps its greatest and most valuable achievement lies precisely in bringing to the core of discourse studies the author’s proposal to develop “new concepts, tools, and boundaries” (PAVEAU, 2017, p. 8), grounded in the French tradition of Discourse Analysis, to examine technodiscourses — that is, discourses produced through the intertwining of technical devices.

Relativismo Linguístico ou Como a Língua Influencia o Pensamento
Rodrigo Tadeu Gonçalves
Linguistic relativism — the idea that the languages we speak may colour or even determine our perception of reality — is perhaps the most captivating of all linguistic ideas. Both within and beyond academic circles — among poets, philosophers, novelists, and filmmakers — there has long circulated the notion that the world is inescapably filtered through the language we command, or, in a sense, that commands us.
This book thus makes a fundamental contribution to the debate inside and outside the university. By tracing the history of the relativist idea, describing its most influential formulations, mapping the empirical investigations that questioned its validity, and, above all, by seeking to situate the relativist principle — duly demystified — within broader theories of language, the author has written the definitive work on the subject.
