    The present study aims to investigate how foreign language learners at the German for Academic Purposes (GAP) program at a Brazilian federal university interact in their mother tongue about their motivations to learn a foreign language as well as their motivations to participate in study abroad programs. Data were collected using focus group methodology with three focus groups of six students each (A1, A2 and B1 levels). We chose to analyze the A1 group. We conducted metaphor-led discourse analysis of the data in order to examine metaphors and metonymies, which emerged in the focus group interactions. We were able to identify the presence of systematic metaphors such as learning is hard work and learning is jumping hurdles, intertwined with conceptual metaphors such as education is a journey and difficulties are weights, which point at the motivation for learning verbalized by Brazilian foreign language learners who took part in the study. Este estudo tem como objetivo investigar como aprendizes de língua estrangeira no programa de Alemão para Fins Acadêmicos (AFA) em uma universidade federal brasileira interagem em sua língua materna sobre suas motivações para aprender uma língua estrangeira, bem como sua motivação para participar de programas de intercâmbio. Os dados foram coletados usando a metodologia de grupo focal com três grupos de seis estudantes cada (níveis A1, A2 e B1). Analisamos o grupo de A1. Conduzimos uma análise do discurso à luz da metáfora nos dados para examinar as metáforas e metonímias que surgiram nas interações dos grupos focais. Pudemos identificar a presença de metáforas sistemáticas como aprendizagem é trabalho duro e aprendizagem é pular barreiras, imbricadas com metáforas conceptuais como educação é uma viagem e dificuldades são peso, que apontam para a motivação de aprendizagem verbalizada pelos participantes desse estudo.

    Por ocasião do bicentenário da viagem dos naturalistas alemães Spix e Martius pelo Brasil (1817-1820), um grupo de pesquisadores ligados ao Instituto Martius Staden (São Paulo) refez em março de 2017 um trecho daquela expedição: de Ouro Preto a Diamantina. O principal objetivo foi estudar as continuidades e as mudanças ocorridas ao longo desses 200 anos. Estes foram os lugares visitados: 1) Ouro Preto, a antiga Vila Rica, capital da província de Minas Gerais; 2) no distrito de Mariana, as comunidades de Bento Rodrigues e Paracatu, destruídas pelo desastre ambiental ocorrido em 2015; 3) o Parque Nacional e o Santuário da Serra do Caraça, fundado em 1774; 4) as cidades de Sabará e do Serro, antiga Vila do Príncipe, e o Pico do Itambé (2052 metros), na Serra do Espinhaço, a divisa entre os biomas da Mata Atlântica e do Cerrado; e 5) a cidade de Diamantina, antigo Arraial de Tijuco, e seus arredores, incluindo um local de garimpagem. Commemorating the bicentenary of the Journey in Brazil (1817-1820) of the German naturalists Spix e Martius, a group of researchers of the Martius-Staden-Institute (São Paulo) remade in March 2017 a segment of that expedition: from Ouro Preto to Diamantina. The main purpose was to study the continuities and the changes that occurred during the last 200 years. These were the visited places: 1) Ouro Preto, formerly Vila Rica, capital of the Province of Minas Gerais; 2) in the district of Mariana, the small towns of Bento Rodrigues e Paracatu, which were destroyed by the environmental disaster occurred in 2015; 3) the National Park and Sanctuary of Serra da Caraça, founded in 1774; 4) the cities of Sabará and Serro, formerly Vila do Príncipe, and the Itambé Mountain (2052 m), in the Serra do Espinhaço, the borderline between the bioms of the Atlantic Rainforest and the Cerrado; e 5) the city of Diamantina, formerly Arraial de Tijuco, and its surroundings, including a diamond field. Anlässlich der 200jährigen Wiederkehr der Reise in Brasilien (1817-1820) der deutschen Naturforscher Spix und Martius hat eine Gruppe von Forschern des Martius-Instituts (São Paulo) im März 2017 einen Abschnitt jener Expedition nachvollzogen: von der ehemaligen Goldgräberstadt Ouro Preto bis zum Diamantendistrikt. Die Hauptaufgabe dieser Reise bestand darin, die Kontinuitäten und die Veränderungen zu untersuchen, die sich im Laufe dieser 200 Jahre ergeben haben. Folgende Orte wurden besucht: 1) Ouro Preto, ehemals Vila Rica, die einstige Hauptstadt der Provinz Minas Gerais; 2) im Distrikt von Mariana die Ortschaften Bento Rodrigues und Paracatu, die im Jahre 2015 durch eine Umweltkatastrophe zerstört wurden; 3) der Nationalpark Serra da Caraça, mit dem dort im Jahre 1774 gegründeten Eremitenhospiz und Wallfahrtsort; 4) die Städte Sabará und Serro, ehemals Vila do Príncipe, und der Gipfel der Serra do Itambé (2052 m), Teil der Serra do Espinhaço, Grenzscheide zwischen den Biomen des atlantischen Regenwalds und des Cerrado; und 5) die Stadt Diamantina, ehemals Arraial de Tijuco, mit Umgebung, einschließlich eines Fundorts von Diamanten.

    In anaphora resolution theory, it has been assumed that anaphora resolution is based on a reversed mapping of antecedent salience and anaphora complexity: minimal complex anaphora refer to maximal salient antecedents. In order to ex-amine whether and by which developmental steps German children gain command of this mapping maxim we conducted an experiment on production and comprehension of intersentential pronouns including the three pronoun types zero, personal, and demonstrative pronoun. With respect to antecedent salience, the experiment varied syntactic role (subject/object) and in/animacy. Six age groups of children (age range from 2;0 to 6;0) and an adult control group has been tested. The hypothesis arising from the mapping maxim is that zero pronoun correlates with more salient antecedents than personal and demonstrative pronoun, the latter correlating with the least salient antecedents. The results are: In production, children first establish the opposition of zero pronoun with animate antecedents vs. demonstrative pronoun with inanimate antecedents. In a next step, syntactic role comes into play and a more complex system opposing the three presented pronoun types is established. In comprehension, however, the effect of pronoun type re-mains weak and antecedent features remain a strong factor in reference choice. However, also adults employ pronoun type and antecedent features. The oldest children and the adults show variation in personal pronoun resolution according to the animacy pattern of the potential antecedents. In case of identical animacy features, the subject is the preferred candidate; in case of distinct animacy features, there is a tendency to choose the object antecedent.

    This study examines articulatory and acoustic inter-speaker variability in the production of the German vowels /i/, /u/ and /a/. Our subjects are 3 monozygotic twin pairs (2 female and 1 male pair) and 2 dizygotic female twin pairs. All of them were born, raised and are still living in Berlin and see their twin brother or sister regularly. We assume that monozygotic twins that are genetically identical and share the same physiology should be more similar in their articulation than dizygotic twins but that the shared time and social environment of twins, regardless of their genetic similarity, also plays a crucial role in the acoustic similarity of twins. Articulatory measurements were made with EMA (Electromagnetic Articulography) and the target positions of the produced vowels were analyzed. Additionally, the formants F1-F4 of each vowel were measured and compared within the twin pairs. Our data seems to point out the importance of a shared environment and the strong influence of learning over the anatomical identity of the monozygotic twins regarding the production of vowels. But, additional results suggest (1) the impact of physiology on the production of a vowel following a velar consonant and (2) the interaction of physiology and stress in inter-speaker variability.
