Resumo: | The Linguistic Landscape (LL) has been a theme extensively studied in recent years, however many European cities and countries have not enjoyed yet relevant studies in their socio-cultural environment. This investigation intends to analyze the linguistic spectrum of Funchal's “Zona Velha”, the capital of Madeira Island and the first town to be inhabited. The British occupation of Madeira Island from the century XIX, as well as the strong tourist influx in the low areas by the sea, has made the city of Funchal a point of cultural and linguistic diversity. The impact of the English language is manifested especially through commercial linguistic signs, catering and is also a reflection of the relationship previously established during the mentioned occupation. Based on this principle, this work will focus on the effects of that reality through the registration and analysis of 216 linguistic signs located in one of the most emblematic areas of the city, “Zona Velha” in the parish of Santa Maria Maior, presenting the differences between public and governmental signals and private and industrial signals. The methodology of this work is based on the top down and bottom up approach of Ben-Rafael et al. (2006) in which the presence of top down linguistic signs demonstrates the British influence and occupation in the socio-political, cultural and economic spheres, and the bottom up linguistic signs demonstrate the tourist phenomenon. |

Esta investigação pretende analisar o espectro linguístico da chamada “Zona Velha” do Funchal, a capital da Madeira e a primeira localidade da ilha a ser habitada. A ocupação britânica na Ilha da Madeira a partir do séc. XIX, bem como a forte afluência turística nas zonas baixas junto ao mar, tem tornado a cidade do Funchal um ponto de diversidade cultural e linguística. O impacto da língua inglesa manifesta-se especialmente através dos sinais linguísticos comerciais, da restauração e é também um reflexo da relação previamente estabelecida aquando da ocupação mencionada. Partindo deste princípio, este trabalho irá focar-se nos efeitos dessa realidade através do registo e análise de 216 sinais linguísticos presentes numa das zonas mais emblemáticas da cidade, a chamada “Zona Velha”, localizada na freguesia de Santa Maria Maior, apresentando as diferenças entre os sinais públicos e governamentais e os privados e industriais. A metodologia deste trabalho assenta na abordagem top down e bottom up de Ben-Rafael et al. (2006) em que a presença de sinais linguísticos top down demonstra a influência e ocupação britânica no plano sociopolítico, cultural e económico, e os sinais linguísticos bottom up apontam para o fenómeno turístico.CEHUM2022-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.21814/diacritica.693https://doi.org/10.21814/diacritica.693Diacrítica; Vol. 36 N.º 1 (2022): Psicolinguística; 193-224Diacrítica; Vol. 36 No. 1 (2022): Psycholinguistics; 193-2242183-91740870-8967reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revistas.uminho.pt/index.php/diacritica/article/view/4771https://revistas.uminho.pt/index.php/diacritica/article/view/4771/5179Direitos de Autor (c) 2023 Bruna Pereirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPereira, Bruna2023-05-19T07:45:12Zoai:journals.uminho.pt:article/4771Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:51:57.454760Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
