If you can... Try it! :-) It´s my research! It´s important texto to me. Thank you a lot! This study is a result and part of the thesis in progress in which the research objects are news and trades, market oficial communications, that add social practices common to the universe of brazilian financial market, ie: transactions, purchase and sale of securities the BM & FBovespa SA. The main objective of the investigation is to trace the motivated steps, features, modes, organizations linguistic-discursive, supporting a sociolinguistic phenomenon common to capitalism of speculation: the rumor. Thus, it is our aim to realize the escolhas realizacionais, structuring and arrangement of lexical items and sentences that hide frauds, sustain bluffing and attract readers and investor’s attention by convincing them to risk their own capital into shares little or nothing promising . The theoretical assumptions underpinning this work are Critical Discourse Analysis by Norman Fairclough, studies grammar of Michael Halliday and Christian Matthiessen and Social Semiotics Hodge and Kress. In these, we emphasize, respectively, the formation of the sentence and textual metafunctions, interpersonal and ideational; semiotic modes that support the dissimulation and even representations, styles and suggested identities in discourse. Among the topics discussed include: information media as a product of non-durable consumer, the process of empowerment and hierarchies between the producer and the consumer of the news, the forms of social hiding agent information, ethics and journalistic praxis. . Keywords: informative-media, financial-market, rumor, representation, empowerment, hiding, text and discourse.

Emi - Emiliane :-) Me llamo Emiliane. Mi madre mi dio ese nombre porque queria render homenaje a mi tia Emí. Yo se que Emiliana es un nombre comun entre los hispanicos, pero yo no tengo semilla hispanica. Tengo abuelos e abuelas de origen africana y portuguesa. Yo soy profesora y a mi me gusta los estudios de lengua estrangera. Yo estudie español en el pasado... Ahora quero recordarme... Es una tarea dificil, pero penso que lo consiguire :-)

About "discourse markers" Brazil has different accents and cultures. There are many linguistic variants. So, for exemple, there are many "discourse markers" that show emotions or surprise too. In the northeast, it´s common to use "oxente!" = "ó gente". "In the south, its common to use" bah" = "barbaridade". In Minas, we use "uai" = "why". This expression is an english inheritance; from the people that lived here in the 19 century. So, here is common expressions like "Why not, uai?" or "What a surprise, uai!" :-)

(Its opinion...) What are the most common problems in the English spoken by Brazilians?

Why "woman", "well" and others words are so hard to pronounce? How can I pratice it alone?

Look = "Oiprucevê" = Olha para você ver! I live in Belo Horizonte, a Minas Gerais´s capital. Here, we have a typical portuguese. It's more musical... and the brazilian people is able to recognize it aniwhere. The"mineiros" cuts the word often, when they speak something. There are many jokes about this, but we don´t care a lot :-) So, I can some funny history: "An american guy studied brazilian portuguese for 3 years, and after that, he went to Brazil to meet that beautiful country. So, when he arrived in Belo Horizonte, in the Seven Square, the man stoped in a famous Cafe and ask a original brazilian coffe. So, when the barman was making a drink, he asked customer: "Pô pô pó?" So, the american man came back to USA. He was disappointed... and came back to the portuguese class." Pô pó pó = Pode pôr pó?

The power of punctuation My friend Vahid proposed a funny (and traditional) linguistic game: "Punctuate the following sentence in a way that appeals to women. (Without moving the words around) All punctuation marks are allowed: A woman without her man is nothing". The answer is: "The woman: without her, man is nothing!" So, in portuguese, we have some linguistic games too. For exemple: "Se o homem soubesse o valor que tem a mulher ficaria de joelhos à sua frente" With a comma, you can change the meaning... and you can make sexist sentences... appealing to women or to men. :-)

About movies One of my friends from Italki ask me some references about brazilian movies with english subtitles. So, I was to search and I found something: 1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56Lsyci_gwg 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAoG1h71As0&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PL48F4D57133465E5D The first is a documentary. Its call "Janela da alma". It´s beatifull and the subject is the human soul and the differents vision in our life. And the second is "City of men"; a famous serie about the 2 child that live in a favela in Rio de Janeiro. That´s it! :-)
