Grounded in the view of language as social practice, the research analyzes a criminal sentence issued by a judge of the Brazilian Federal Court in the state of Paraíba, understanding impartiality not merely as a legal principle, but as a discursive effect produced through language. Methodologically, the study adopts a qualitative-quantitative approach, based on Systemic Functional Grammar, focusing on the ideational, textual, and interpersonal metafunctions. The units of analysis corresponded to the clauses constituting the sentence, which were classified according to verbal processes, thematic choices, and speech functions, followed by the calculation of frequencies and percentages. The results revealed a predominance of material and verbal processes, recurrent use of impersonal structures, and a prevalence of declarative clauses, which discursively support the objectivity and impartiality of the judicial text. However, the analysis also showed that these linguistic choices, while reinforcing institutional neutrality, contribute to maintaining a highly technical legal language that is not easily accessible to non-specialized readers. In this sense, the study demonstrates that SFL constitutes a relevant framework not only for the critical analysis of legal discourse, but also for proposing clearer and more inclusive writing practices. It is therefore concluded that the judge’s linguistic choices are decisive in constructing impartiality in the criminal sentence, confirming the study’s first hypothesis. Furthermore, Systemic Functional Linguistics proves to be a consistent theoretical and methodological framework for understanding and critically engaging with legal discourse, fostering reflection on clearer and socially inclusive writing practices. Although the findings are not intended to be generalized, the study indicates that it is possible to reconcile impartiality, legal certainty, and inclusive language, reaffirming the social role of language in promoting access to justice and strengthening the democratic commitment of the justice.

This research is grounded in the premise that every grammatical description is permeated by social and cultural values and is, therefore, ideological. Accordingly, grammars are understood as discursive artifacts that not only describe language but also construct discourses about it and shape social, political and ideological representations concerning its legitimacy. The investigation is anchored in the theoretical framework of Language Policy, primarily drawing on Spolsky (2004, 2009, 2012, 2016), and narrows its scope to the field of Linguistic Ideologies, especially through the contributions of Woolard (1998), Kroskrity (2004), and Del Valle (2007). The research corpus comprises two works by Celso Cunha: Gramática do Português Contemporâneo (1970) and Nova Gramática do Português Contemporâneo (1985), the latter co-authored with Lindley Cintra. Adopting the interpretivist approach of Denzin and Lincoln (2006), the analysis focuses on terminological choices, linguistic examples, metalinguistic commentary, and morphosyntactic categories, with the aim of framing them within two ideological systems proposed by the author: the ideology of conservation and the ideology of innovation. These findings reveal that the 1970 grammar exhibits a strong alignment with conservative ideology, frequently valorizing the Lusitanian norm and relying predominantly on examples drawn from classical Portuguese literature. In contrast, the 1985 grammar demonstrates a moderate openness to innovative ideologies, incorporating Brazilian, African, and modern Portuguese authors, as well as acknowledging phonetic and morphosyntactic particularities of Brazilian Portuguese. The study concludes that, despite adhering to the framework of Traditional Grammar, Celso Cunha represents a transitional figure within the Brazilian grammatical tradition.

Therefore, the teacher navigates different social spheres, and given this, the importance of their professional performance is evident. In this sense, we observe that although the vast amount of bibliographic studies focused on the role of the teacher during the COVID-19 pandemic (cf. Moll, 2021; Andrade, 2022; Caldas, 2022; Emiliano, 2022), there are still different areas and perspectives to explore. Thus, this research aims to analyze the speeches of Portuguese language teachers produced during self-confrontation to understand how these professionals navigate their experiences in remote teaching during the pandemic context of COVID-19. Methodologically, the analyzed speeches resulted from the self- confrontation method (CLOT, 2010), which allowed the collaborating teachers to reflect on their performance based on audiovisual recordings. Throughout the research, we sought to map the processes used from the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistics to reflect on the internal and external worldviews of the participants that emerge when analyzing the sentence as the representation of their lived experiences. The following perspectives supported the theoretical framework: Transitivity System (HALLIDAY & MATHIESSEN, 2014), as far as the analysis is concerned, and also anchored in other contributions to thinking about the role of the Portuguese language teacher: Amigues (2004); Tardif (2010); Oliveira (2010) and others. In light of the analysis undertaken, we can conclude that the teachers mostly used material processes to describe their actions and the actions of the other agents in the web of interactions of the educational environment, as well as using mental processes to expose their perceptions when confronting and reflecting on the situations experienced during Emergency Remote Teaching. Additionally, the occurrences revealed that relational processes emerged when the teachers identified and described circumstances to define better how these eventualities occurred. In general, this research contributed to understanding the teacher's journey, identifying the nuances in remote teaching, and the strategies established to use technology in favor of education.

Obedient, fragile, delicate, modest, maternal, and pure are just a few of the many adjectives exhaustively employed to shape a category of feminine womanhood capable of integrating a social imaginary that has long questioned the autonomy of those whose bodies are traversed by the most violent discourses. In response, resistant/responsive activities have challenged traditional ways of saying womanhood, reconfiguring oppressive identity paradigms and opening space for alternative perceptions of femininity. In light of this, this master’s dissertation seeks to investigate, through Dialogic Discourse Analysis, how the feminine-identitarian construction of Jules unfolds in the television series Euphoria, and how this construction reflects and refracts patterns of behavior within youth culture. The corpus, composed of episodes from the first season (with emphasis on episode 4, Shook One Pt. II) and episode 2 (F*ck Anyone Who’s Not A Sea Blob) from the special selection, is converted into still frames and transcriptions in order to analyze the verbal, visual, and sonic dimensions of concrete utterances. The treatment of this material is grounded in a qualitativeinterpretive approach to the data, through dialogic juxtaposition, that is an investigative process that acknowledges the active role of the researcher, who is responsible for updating the meanings of the text based on their experience and their position as a historically determined subject. To the corpus, we apply the teachings of the Bakhtin Circle, specifically the principles of alterity and verbo-ideological forces, always departing from the dialogic relations of the utterance. This theoretical apparatus enables an analysis centered on the theme of belonging, from which three subcategories are proposed. The first, the self that does not belong, emerges from the dialogic juxtaposition of the character’s childhood, revealing that the transgender child experiences a severe identity crisis, largely due to non-belonging to a body of masculine performance, which leads to feelings of anger and frustration. The second, the self that belongs to the other, diagnoses an adolescent who is still highly immature and engaged in assembling a heteronormatively oriented feminine body, thereby reproducing stereotypes that are harmful to herself. The third, the self that belongs to itself, constitutes a stronger point of resistance in relation to the other categories, as it is marked by the character’s greater concern with her own desires, thus fostering, to some extent, greater empathy with trans feminine identity.
