Acquisition of Spanish gender agreement in two learning contexts: Study abroad and at home.

The goal of this study is to describe the acquisition rate for gender acquisition in Spanish and to show whether individual variability and language contact may affect this rate. The participants were intermediate second language Spanish (first language English) learners in the study abroad and at-home contexts over a 4-month period. The participants received grammaticality judgment tests coded for morphological class of the modified noun as well as attributive and predicative adjectives. Data were also collected on social behavior and language contact in Spanish and English in order to explain data outcome. The findings suggest that no difference exists between the two learning contexts and that social behavior and language contact abroad have minimal influence on acquisition rate

Visibilidad del archivero en el mundo laboral : reflejos de Brasil

Investigar a visibilidade do profissional de arquivos implica em uma análise do panorama do mercado de trabalho. Em nossa análise consideramos o comportamento de três variáveis determinantes, a formação, as associações profissionais e o mercado de trabalho, em relação aos arquivistas com formação formal. Dessa maneira, a investigação analisou os seguintes aspectos: como o arquivista vê a formação, como vê as associações profissionais e como vê a profissão. Os resultados apontam novos rumos e novas direções aos graduados do curso já que a práxis arquivística extrapolou os limites da Lei 6.546, de 1978, que regula a profissão, considerando que o arquivista vem criando novos espaços de trabalho e adaptando-se às pesquisas. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACTInvestigating the visibility of archivists implies analyzing the employment’s landscape.
