INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS, COOPERATION AGREEMENTS AND EXCHANGES

PosLing-UFF has developed a long and continuous series of actions for cooperation, agreements and exchanges with teaching and research institutions in Brazil and abroad. Some of these partnerships with universities abroad are listed below:

– CAPES COFECUB / Cal for Proposals No. 08/2023 “Discriminação linguística e preconceito social: um estudo comparativo entre o Brasil e a França” (Linguistic Discrimination and Social Prejudice: A Comparative Study Between Brazil and France) – Coordinated by Prof. Telma Pereira, the project investigates fundamental issues in the field of linguistic studies concerning linguistic diversity and the struggle against social prejudices. The theme has interfaces with the research conducted at the Université de Rennes 2, at the Centre d’Études sur les Langues, Territoires et Identités Culturelles – Bretagne et Langues Minoritaires (CELTIC-BLM), the project’s French partner. In Brazil, the project is coordinated by Brazilian researchers from the Laboratório de Pesquisas em Contato Linguístico (LABPEC – Laboratory for Research in Linguistic Contact – UFF). The shared effort in diagnosing situations of inequality, their description and explanation, as well as the generating ideas for action is a scientifically and socially relevant proposal. Thus, this Capes-Cofecub project will bring theoretical and methodological contributions to glotopolitical studies that address the relationship between democracy, language and society, and it will also support research on linguistic beliefs and attitudes in different contexts of language use in Brazil. The results will be published as articles in journals and book chapters, as well as in various other forms of scientific dissemination: courses, lectures, and in thesis and dissertation databases. The project will further strengthen the ties already established between PosLing-UFF, more specifically its History, Politics and Linguistic Contact research line, Labpec-UFF and the Master Program Francophonie, Plurilinguisme, Minorités, Interculturel et les doctorats en sociolinguistique of l’Université Rennes 2. Currently a PosLing-UFF doctoral student is on a sandwich internship at the University of Rennes, sponsored by Cofecub. The project is valid from 2024 to 2027. For further information, please contact talmeida@id.uff.br or labpec.uff@gmail.com

– Capes-Print UFF Project “Multilinguismo, direitos linguísticos e desigualdade social” (Multilingualism, linguistic rights and social inequality) – Coordinated by Prof. Mônica Maria Guimarães Savedra and with the participation of nine other PosLing-UFF professors, the project was approved in 2018 and its implementation took place in 2019, supported by Capes resources. The project created conditions for the accomplishment of several actions, such as work missions abroad, granting scholarships to foreign visiting professors and scholarships to sandwich doctoral students. Within the scope of the Project, working partnerships were established with the following institutions abroad: Sorbonne-Nouvelle Paris III; Universidad de Buenos Aires; City University of New York; Universität Viadrina – Frankfurt a.Oder – Germany; Université de Provence; Université Rennes II; Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana de México; and Instituto da Lingua Galega/University of Santiago de Compostela. Learn more about the project

Capes-Print UFF Project “History, circulation and analysis of literary, artistic and social discourses” – The project is coordinated by PosLing-UFF’s Prof. Silvio Renato Jorge, and eight PosLing-UFF professors who work in the area of text and discourse studies participate in it. The project was implemented in 2018, and has established working and research relationships with several teaching and research institutions abroad, among which are: Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour, Université Paris VII Diderot, Università Roma 3, Université de Rennes, Stanford University, Université Paris XIII, Universidad de Salamanca, Université de Rennes 2, Università di Roma La Sapienza, City University of Hong Kong. Additionally, work missions and academic-scientific events have been carried out and scholarships have been granted to senior and junior visiting professors. Learn more about the project

“L’Insécurité linguistique chez des enseignants.e.s de français langue seconde et étrangère: une étude comparativa Brésil Canada” – The project is a partnership between the Language Studies Graduate Program (PPG Estudos de Linguagem), the University of Ottawa (Canada), and AUF (Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie), with the support of Mitacs Globalink. This project aims to broaden knowledge about the causes and effects of linguistic insecurity among teachers of French as a second language (Français langue seconde – programme enrichi – FLSE) in Canada and among teachers of French as a foreign language (Français langue étrangère – FLE) in Brazil. The comparative nature of this project is an important contribution because it will highlight the pervasiveness of the ideology of the standard – or standard language ideology (SLI) -, as well as the mechanisms by which it is preserved in Francophony. Little is known about linguistic insecurity in French among FLSE teachers, even though they are responsible for the diffusion of French in Canada, as well as in all countries where French is a foreign language, such as Brazil. The general objectives of this research project are: a) to broaden knowledge about linguistic insecurity among recently graduated FLSE teachers living in Canada and Brazil; b) to determine to what extent the ideology of the standard language – as well as other linguistic ideologies – influences the feeling of linguistic insecurity; c) to develop a comparative analysis of linguistic insecurity among FLSE teachers, identifying the internal factors (related to the sociolinguistic context in which the French language is used) and the external factors (ideologies prevalent in Francophony). The project leaders are Telma Pereira (PosLing-UFF) and Luisa Veronis and Janaína Nazzari (outside the program). Contact e-mails are: Romina.Chencheva@uottawa.ca; jnazzari@uottawa.ca; lveronis@uottawa.ca

Intensificación Expresiva (Expressive Intensification) – The project is coordinated by Prof. Ana Clara Polakof (Universidad de la República, Uruguay) and funded by the National Agency for Innovation and Research of Uruguay (ANII) and includes seven researchers from Uruguay, Argentina and Brazil. PosLing-UFF Prof. Luciana Sanchez Mendes participates in the project as a visiting researcher. The project includes collaboration between researchers in the investigation not only of prototypical intensifying adverbs used expressively, but also of non-prototypical intensification, as in ‘Tiene alta casa’, in Rioplatense Spanish. Researchers from Uruguay and Argentina will visit UFF in 2025, and Prof. Luciana Sanchez Mendes, who visited La Universidad de la República, in Uruguay in 2024, will visit it again in 2026. The project leaders are: Luciana Sanchez Mendes (PosLing-UFF) and Ana Clara Polakof (Universidad de la República, Uruguay). Project duration: June 2024 to June 2026.

SeDi (Semiotics and Discourse Research Group) and interfaces with international universities – In recent years, SeDi has been carrying out international collaboration activities involving SeDi researchers and professors from the Universities of Paris VIII (Denis Bertrand), Paris Cité (Verónica Estay Stange and Juán Alonso Aldama), Limoges (Jacques Fontanille) and Bordeaux Montaigne (Anne Beyaert-Geslin; Laboratory MICA– Médiations, Informations, Communication, Arts). This participation has produced joint events and publications in Brazil and France. More recently, work meetings have been held to draft an agreement with the Universidad de Lima, with the participation of SeDi-UFF Prof. Silvia Maria de Sousa and Prof. Eliane Soares de Lima and Universidad de Lima Prof. Elder Cuevas Calderón. SeDi is affiliated with FEDROS (Romance Federation of Semiotics), an association that brings together research groups in semiotics from all over the world, where PosLing-UFF is represented by Prof. Renata Mancini. The project is also active in ALFAL (Latin American Association of Philology and Linguistics), where Prof. Lucia Teixeira, together with Diana Luz Pessoa de Barros (USP/Mackenzie), coordinates one of the projects, with the participation of researchers from Brazil, Uruguay, Colombia and Peru.
