During several decades, syntactic reconstruction has been more or less regarded as a bootless and an unsuccessful venture, not least due to the heavy criticism in the 1970s from scholars like Watkins, Jeffers, Lightfoot, etc. This fallacious view culminated in Lightfoot’s (2002: 625) conclusion: “[i]f somebody thinks that they can reconstruct grammars more successfully and in more widespread fashion, let them tell us their methods and show us their results. Then we’ll eat the pudding.” This volume provides methods for the identification of i) cognates in syntax, and ii) the directionality of syntactic change, showcasing the results in the introduction and eight articles. These examples are offered as both tastier and also more nourishing than the pudding Lightfoot had in mind when discarding the viability of reconstructing syntax.
Em O discurso de intelectuais brasileiros sobre a obra de Cícero Dias, Flávia se propõe a analisar seis textos críticos sobre a obra do pintor pernambucano Cicero Dias. A` luz do referencial teórico da Análise Crítica do Discurso (ACD), especificamente do modelo tridimensional de análise do discurso proposto por Norman Fairclough (2001), identifica-se, nas críticas que compõem o corpus do trabalho, a modalização enunciativa, a intertextualidade, a interdiscursividade e o ethos a fim de verificar que imagens da obra do pintor são construídas por esses textos. Para empreender essa análise, a autora situa o pintor no cenário da arte brasileira e tece um breve apanhado da sua vida e das fases de sua obra. Além disso, ela investiga a natureza e a origem da crítica de arte no Brasil, assim como reflexões acerca do papel social da crítica e do crítico. Tais estudos levaram-na a concluir que a crítica de arte, na medida em que orienta o olhar do interlocutor, constitui-se em mais um instrumento formador de opinião que tem atribuído aos críticos o poder de dizer e a autorização da sociedade para dizer o que diz.
