Resumo: This article explores the role of writing for the preservation of oral languages stemming from the story about the creation of the Cherokee syllabary. Based on the tale about the reception of the syllabary by members of the Cherokee Nation, the article deals with the concept of blasphemy proposed by Bhabha (1998) aiming at investigating the ambiguity of applying the technology of writing for the Cherokee people. In a second moment, three articles are revised and interrelated. Guyette’s article (1981) analyzes the vitality of the Cherokee language by researching the domains in which the language is used by three Cherokee communities; Velasquez (2021) writes about the bilingual education of the Guarani people in Paraná; and Peter (2007) analyzes the experience of an immersion school in Cherokee for children as one of the initiatives for reversing language shift. We conclude, in conversation with Bastardas-Bodas (2012), that linguistic diversity must be protected and encouraged, mostly when facing the risks presented by languages of international commerce such as English. Linguistic diversity is understood as shaping a robust symbolic ecology of ways to live and think.

Baseado no relato sobre a recepção do silabário pelos membros da Nação Cherokee, trabalha o conceito de blasfêmia proposto por Bhabha (1998), a fim de investigar a ambiguidade da aplicação da tecnologia da escrita para o povo cherokee. No segundo momento, três artigos são apresentados e colocados em diálogo. O artigo de Guyette (1981) analisa a vitalidade da língua cherokee por meio da análise dos locais e situações em que a língua é utilizada por três comunidades cherokee; Velasquez (2021) escreve acerca da educação bilíngue dos Guarani do Paraná; e Peter (2007) analisa a experiência de uma escola de imersão em cherokee para crianças como uma das iniciativas de reversão da substituição linguística. Conclui-se, em diálogo com Bastardas-Bodas (2012), que a diversidade linguística deve ser protegida e encorajada, principalmente frente aos riscos impostos por línguas do comércio internacional como o inglês. Compreende-se que a diversidade linguística forma uma robusta ecologia simbólica das formas de viver e pensar.Programa de Pós-Graduação em Linguística Aplicada2023-10-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/horizontesla/article/view/4698910.26512/rhla.v22i2.46989Revista Horizontes de Linguistica Aplicada; Vol. 22 No. 2 (2023): Non-thematic issue and Dossier: Portuguese and other heritage languages; DT5Revista Horizontes de Linguistica Aplicada; v. 22 n. 2 (2023): Fluxo contínuo e Dossiê: Português e outras línguas de herança; DT52237-09511677-977010.26512/rhla.v22i2reponame:Revista Horizontes de Linguística Aplicadainstname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBporhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/horizontesla/article/view/46989/38687Copyright (c) 2023 Revista Horizontes de Linguistica Aplicadahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAlonso, Alice Maria Beteli ZanonMendes, Paulo Henrique Aguiar2023-10-19T18:20:09Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/46989Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/horizontesla/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/horizontesla/oaihorizontesla@gmail.com2237-09511677-9770opendoar:2023-10-19T18:20:09Revista Horizontes de Linguística Aplicada - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false
