Ivan Müller Botelho Ricardo Perez Botelho We remain relentlessly focused on our dream of Chairman of the Board CEO being a leading player in the power sector. We aspire to grow and achieve leadership in our industry across four aspects: customer satisfaction, safety, workplace climate and profitability. We are pleased to report significant achievements in 2017 on each of these four major goals: our safety performance was recognized by Eloy Chaves medals presented to seven of our utilities, with special recognition for Energisa Nova Friburgo, which to date has gone 590 days without work-related accidents leading to leave, Energisa Paraíba earned a Great Place to Work seal of approval; we achieved leadership in customer satisfaction, with the best performance among utility groups on the Perceived Quality Satisfaction Index (ISQP); and Energisa Paraíba was recognized as the best utility in Brazil 6 OVERVIEW ENERGISA A ENERGISA is engaged in energy distribution, transmission, sales, services and energy generation studies. We are the sixth largest group in Brazil in terms of energy consumption, selling 29,620.4 GWh in 2017, equal to 6.4% of overall Brazil consumption, serving 6.7 million consumers (8.1% of the total number of consumers in Brazil in 2017). It controls nine distribution companies located in the states of Minas Gerais, Paraíba, Sergipe, Rio de Janeiro, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Tocantins, Paraná and São Paulo, which have concession agreements expiring between 2020 and 2045. In 2017, five distribution companies in São Paulo and Paraná, that were acquired from Rede Group in 2014, were merged into a single company, Energisa Sul-Sudeste (the new name of Caiuá Distribuidora), into which were merged the companies Bragantina, Força e Luz do Oeste, Vale Paranapanema and Nacional, as a result of the corporate reorganization autho- rized by the National Electricity Regulatory Agency (Aneel). TOTAL ENERGISA In the transmission sector the Group acquired two pieces of land in the states of Goiás and Pará in April 2017, in lines totaling a length of 864 km which are forecast to come into operation in 2021 and 2022. The two ventures will have synergies in the areas in which the company operates in the midwest and North regions of Brazil. CAPTIVE CLIENTS The Energisa Services Center (CSE) also came into operation in the year, in Cataguases (Minas Gerais state), This center centralizes the provision of transactional services and operating activities of 6,649,966 administrative departments, in order to better organize working routines and processes and support Energisa’s objective to be a leading energy group.

  • Dialects of Spanish and Portuguese
    30 Dialects of Spanish and Portuguese JOHN M. LIPSKI 30.1 Basic Facts 30.1.1 Historical Development Spanish and Portuguese are closely related Ibero‐Romance languages whose origins can be traced to the expansion of the Latin‐speaking Roman Empire to the Iberian Peninsula; the divergence of Spanish and Portuguese began around the ninth century. Starting around 1500, both languages entered a period of global colonial expansion, giving rise to new vari- eties in the Americas and elsewhere. Sources for the development of Spanish and Portuguese include Lloyd (1987), Penny (2000, 2002), and Pharies (2007). Specific to Portuguese are fea- tures such as the retention of the seven‐vowel system of Vulgar Latin, elision of intervocalic /l/ and /n/ and the creation of nasal vowels and diphthongs, the creation of a “personal” infinitive (inflected for person and number), and retention of future subjunctive and pluper- fect indicative tenses. Spanish, essentially evolved from early Castilian and other western Ibero‐Romance dialects, is characterized by loss of Latin word‐initial /f‐/, the diphthongiza- tion of Latin tonic /ɛ/ and /ɔ/, palatalization of initial C + L clusters to /ʎ/, a complex series of changes to the sibilant consonants including devoicing and the shift of /ʃ/ to /x/, and many innovations in the pronominal system. 30.1.2 The Spanish Language Worldwide Reference grammars of Spanish include Bosque (1999a), Butt and Benjamin (2011), and Real Academia Española (2009–2011). The number of native or near‐native Spanish speakers in the world is estimated to be around 500 million. In Europe, Spanish is the official language of Spain, a quasi‐official language of Andorra and the main vernacular language of Gibraltar; it is also spoken in adjacent parts of Morocco and in Western Sahara, a former Spanish colony.

A partir de processos metodológicos qualitativos, tendo como instrumentos de coleta de dados a pesqui- sa bibliográfica e a análise de conteúdo, procurou-se estabelecer relações entre a canção caipira e as estruturas da poética medieval delimitada em um tratado poéti- co denominado A Arte de Trovar ou Poética Fragmentária. Talvez esse estilo de mú- sica seja o que, atualmente, mais sofre pressão dos meios de comunicação de massa e da música comercial, desfigurando e comprometendo sua autenticidade, portanto, sua defesa e salvaguarda tornam-se pontos importantes na proteção da cultura brasileira.

This research complements prior quantitative sociolinguistic studies on telenovelas which have found that viewers tend to adhere to the standard linguistic model offered by middle-class telenovela characters. In this paper, seven excerpts from the five telenovelas considered are analyzed for linguistic form and discourse content. The linguistic analysis is based on an identification of the main features used in caipira dialect performance, namely prosody, the caipira r, and grammatical non-concord. I suggest that the limited range of particularly salient features used in these performances creates distinction from middle-class characters and can be interpreted as dialect stylization.

  • Estudo Baseado Em Dados Do ALMS, Atlas Linguístico Do Mato Grosso Do Sul
    O “r caipira” em Mato Grosso do Sul – estudo baseado em dados do ALMS, Atlas linguístico do Mato Grosso do Sul (The “caipira r” in Mato Grosso do Sul - Brazil: study based on data from ALMS, Atlas linguístico do Mato Grosso do Sul) Vandersí Sant’Ana Castro Instituto de Estudos da Linguagem - Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp) [email protected] Abstract: In this study we verify the occurrence of the “caipira r” in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul, based on data from ALMS, Atlas linguístico do Mato Grosso do Sul (OLIVEIRA, 2007). The context considered is the syllabic coda, within or at the end of the word. The results show the predominance of the “caipira r” over other variants of /r/ in this context. It is an evidence of the influence of “caipira dialect” (a dialect in the state of São Paulo) in this area, which is historically explained by the presence of the paulistas in the settlement of this region. Keywords: dialectology; dialect geography; linguistic atlas; Mato Grosso do Sul – Brazil; “caipira r”. Resumo: Neste estudo, procuramos verificar a ocorrência e a frequência do “r caipira” no Mato Grosso do Sul, com base em dados do ALMS, Atlas linguístico do Mato Grosso do Sul (OLIVEIRA, 2007). O contexto examinado é a coda silábica, no interior e no final de palavra. Os resultados mostram uma indiscutível predominância dessa variante entre as realizações róticas atestadas no contexto em questão, sinalizando a influência do dialeto caipira nesse território, historicamente explicada pela atuação dos bandeirantes paulistas no povoamento dessa região.

  • Towards a Non-Linear Account of Plural Marking in the 'Caipira' Dialect Of
    CLS 37 : The Main Session (2001) : 469-479 © 2001 by the Chicago Linguistic Society. All rights reserved. Towards a non-linear account of plural marking in the ‘Caipira’ dialect of Brazilian Portuguese Eduardo Rivail Ribeiro1 University of Chicago 1 Introduction. Standard Brazilian Portuguese (henceforth SP), as other Romance languages, presents gender and plural agreement between the head of a noun phrase and its determiners and modifiers. In addition, the verb agrees with the subject both in person and number. In colloquial Brazilian Portuguese, however, there is a strong tendency towards morphological simplification, both through the elimination of plural markers in the noun phrase and the reduction of the inflectional paradigm of verbs. This is shown by examples (1b) and (2b) below, which contrast sharply with their Standard Brazilian Portuguese versions given in (1a) and (2a): (1) a. A-s menina-s bonita-s chegaram. the-PL girl-PL beautiful-PL arrive.past.3P ‘The beautiful girls arrived.’ b. A-s menina bonita chegou. the-PL girl beautiful arrive.past.3S ‘The beautiful girls arrived.’ (2) a. Que menina-s bonita-s! what girl-PL beautiful-PL ‘What beautiful girls!’ b. Que menina-s bonita! what girl-PL beautiful ‘What beautiful girls!’ Thus, as examples (1b) and (2b) show, plural tends to be marked only in the first elements of the NP in colloquial varieties of Brazilian Portuguese. Although this tendency is fairly common among speakers of dialects from different regions, it is probably in the ‘Caipira’ Portuguese (CP)2 that it takes its 1 I would like to thank Mônica Veloso Borges, from the Universidade Federal de Goiás (Brazil), for her help in confirming my native speaker’s intuitions, both with her field notes and her own native speaker’s intuitions, and Neha Dave, for editing support.

    Vem viola, vem cantando IVAN VILELA IOLA CAIPIRA , viola sertaneja, viola de dez cordas, viola cabocla, viola de arame, viola de folia, viola nordestina, viola de repente, viola brasileira V são alguns dos nomes que encontramos para designar esse instrumento que, aos poucos, tornou-se um dos porta-vozes do Brasil interior. Apesar de todos esses atributos tão nossos que reforçam o seu caráter de brasilidade, a viola é na verdade um instrumento de origem portuguesa, e tão antigo que seus sons se perdem no tempo. Olhando para o violão, um instrumento da mesma família de cordas de- dilhadas e com ascendência comum, poderemos estabelecer alguns parâmetros que começarão a nos mostrar quem realmente é essa viola de que falamos. O violão tem seis cordas, a viola normalmente tem dez, quase sempre agrupadas em pares,1 mas sua quantidade de cordas pode variar de cinco a quinze em um mesmo instrumento. A idade do violão, tal como o conhecemos, é de aproxi- madamente 250 anos; já o ancestral da viola chega perto dos oitocentos anos de idade. Apesar de nos remeter ao mundo rural, a viola tem um passado urbano, tanto em Portugal quanto no Brasil. Para entendermos melhor o ambiente em que a viola foi gestada, é impor- tante que voltemos no tempo. A Península Ibérica foi, desde tempos remotos, palco de invasões e entrelaçamentos das etnias mais diversas. Por lá estiveram iberos, celtiberos, tartessos, fenícios, romanos, godos, visigodos, suevos (no Noroeste) e, por fim, árabes. Os árabes viveram, na Idade Média, o período mais exuberante de sua cultura.

Aqui são discutidos aspectos relativos ao que possa ser a Paulistânia e abordadas questões históricas referentes ao acesso e à disputa pela propriedade da terra nesta região. O ponto de partida para tanto é a letra da Moda de Viola O mineiro e o italiano - composição de Teddy Vieira e Nelson Gomes. Por meio da análise das relações sociais, econômicas, jurídicas e de poder, assim como de alguns elementos que dão sentido e coesão à narrativa desta obra, intenta-se investigar em que medida esta canção popular pode ser compreendida enquanto síntese do processo histórico e da experiência histórica e cultural da região no período compreendido entre os séculos XVI e início do XX. * Mestrando do programa de pós-graduação multidisciplinar em Culturas e Identidades Brasileiras (IEB-USP), é Bacharel em História (USP) e em Música Popular (UNICAMP).

A partir da compreensão que cada um nos oferece, é possível perceber a atualização do mito das três raças, através das diferentes percepções sobre o descobrimento e a colonização do Brasil presentes no imaginário social e proferido nos discursos de diversos intelectuais. Segue então uma análise das suas compreensões sobre as transformações ocorridas no campo da música caipira desde que ela passa a ser registrada em meios fonográficos na década de 1920 até a década de 1990. Observa-se que o argumento da modernização do gênero como um processo de perda da autenticidade provoca sentimentos ambivalentes que desestabilizam esta categoria.
