“…A partir deste momento, cabe dialogar com outros estudos sobre a IURD em Moçambique -os estudos de Serra (2003), de Cruz e Silva (2003), de Freston (2005), de Gaspar (2006) e de Van de Kamp (2011;. Guardando as devidas especificidades de cada estudo, é possível dizer que todos eles enfatizam os diálogos da IURD com outras práticas religiosas, por um lado, e o contexto político, social e econômico moçambicano como propício para o desenvolvimento da IURD, por outro lado.…”

O artigo apresenta a análise de discursos e práticas da Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus (IURD) no sul de Moçambique e problematiza os diálogos dessa igreja com aspectos de diferentes contextos religiosos, principalmente os contextos das práticas religiosas “tradicionais” e das práticas das igrejas ziones. Alguns elementos foram destacados: as menções à “tradição”; o reconhecimento e a apropriação da linguagem, das cosmologias e das noções locais do mal; o fenômeno da possessão e do exorcismo; o fenômeno do sacrifício; o papel e o desempenho dos pastores e dos bispos; e os diagnósticos e os tratamentos prescritos aos fiéis. Buscou-se dialogar com estudos sobre a IURD em Moçambique e com estudos antropológicos sobre os pentecostalismos em contextos africanos. A hipótese defendida aponta que o pentecostalismo da IURD se distingue de outros pentecostalismos presentes em contextos africanos e, também, que diversas ideias e práticas dos contextos religiosos “tradicionais” e ziones criaram e criam condições para que os discursos e as práticas da IURD sejam relevantes, eficazes e significativos no sul de Moçambique.

Guinea-Bissau Portuguese: What the intonation of yes-no question shows about this variety

In Guinea-Bissau, Portuguese is the only official language, and, for historical and sociopolitical reasons, European Portuguese (EP) is assumed as the variety spoken. However, we find a multilingual space in which Kriol is the national unity language and Portuguese is spoken as a second language. In this context, we analyzed the intonation of neutral yes-no questions of Guinea-Bissau Portuguese (GBP), to examine whether the intonation of this sentence type resembles that found SEP (spoken in Lisbon) or whether we are facing a Guinea-Bissau Portuguese variety in formation. Using the theoretical framework of Prosodic Phonology and Intonational Phonology, we analyzed neutral yes-no questions produced through a reading task performed by four Guinea-Bissau participants, native speakers of Kriol, and speakers of Portuguese as a second language. Our results show that, for the pre-nuclear and nuclear contour as well as tonal density, the intonation of GBP neutral yes-no questions differs from SEP and is closer to Brazilian and African varieties already studied. This outcome was previously pointed out in the literature for declarative sentences, suggesting that GBP is developing its own intonational grammar.

This study investigates the intonation contours of neutral yes–no interrogatives produced by simultaneous bilingual children in their two native languages. Previous studies have shown prosodic transfer from one language to another, either from the dominant into the non-dominant language or vice versa, but little is known about what specifically triggers this behaviour. This study explores how bilingual children make use of phonetic–phonological resources while interacting with peers. Three child speakers of German (ambient language) and Portuguese (heritage language) were recorded as they performed a modified version of a map task. Natural and spontaneous data were collected and the speech was analysed. The results indicate that to some degree, bilingual children produce all intonational contours specific to their language variety. When speaking German, they produced the syntax and contour consistent with the structure of yes–no interrogatives in German. When speaking Portuguese, the children displayed variation in their choice of tune, depending on the variety of Portuguese and the language proficiency of their interlocutor. This behaviour is interpreted as prosodic convergence resulting from the high variability of prosodic structures in the different varieties of Portuguese present in the classroom.
