Asked about a Brazilian regional word, ChatGPT produced a confident answer about medieval Portugal, with bold headings and a summary line. The one model that hedged and asked for context was Sabiá, built in Brazil, trained on Brazilian data. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #AIbias
In Cadernos de Linguística, peer reviews are published alongside the article. Anyone can read what Guilherme Adorno (UNICAMP) wrote about this essay on comment moderation. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #openaccess
If code decides who gets seen and who gets flattened into a stereotype, an essay argues, then the fix isn't a patch. It's rewriting the grammar that produced the bias in the first place. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #AIethics
Debates about how to teach a national language are not new. An essay revisits sixty years of Brazilian linguistics grappling with that very question. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #brazil
Neuda Lago researches how English-language literatures are taught to future teachers. Here she reads five works to argue that interpreting a text also means learning to listen. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #socialJustice
An essay on reading as ethical listening went through an editorial process its author calls careful and clear. Neuda Lago on publishing with Cadernos de Linguística. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #socialJustice
Computer-generated voices are getting hard to tell from human ones. What still gives them away? A study of Venezuelan Spanish measured the melody of statements and questions in both, moment by moment. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #speechtech
Brazil keeps a national record of every thesis defended in the country. Researchers searched it for one phrase, "description of Portuguese," and found 176 studies written between 2000 and 2024. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #Portuguese
Before the program and after it: this pilot study listened to four teachers' voices at every stage to map how a speech-language workshop series changed the way they sounded. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #education
A language collection cannot include everything. Every archivist has to decide what is worth keeping. A theoretical essay argues this decision is never made without political stakes. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #archives
Brazil holds the world's third largest prison population. A study on an ANTRA booklet asks what the everyday language of denunciation can do when the law is already on the books but not enforced. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #socialmovements
"A scientific text that can't speak to different audiences loses part of its power to transform." Ramon Almeida, co-author of the "Abrindo o Verbo" podcast study, on publishing in Cadernos de Linguística. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #openscience
Both authors have studied political discourse before, always asking what political words leave out. Here, they turn to a mayoral podcast interview in Brazil. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #politicaldiscourse
Each step in CadLin's editorial process is built to strengthen the final work. Leandro Silveira de Araujo, on publishing his research on Brazil's 1942 Portuguese manual for foreigners. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #PFL
Which Portuguese gets taught — the formal rulebook or the language people actually speak? Leandro Silveira de Araujo researches that question. His latest work looks at Brazil's only Portuguese manual for foreigners in 1942. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #PFL
Instead of treating stutters as isolated glitches, this project analyzes them as part of the same rhythm that organizes all speech, built on two coupled internal "clocks" for stress and syllables. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #speechrhythm
A candidate calls his rival a "disguised communist." A study analyzing a mayoral podcast interview found that the phrase does real work: it saves the speaker from arguing against actual proposals. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #politicalspeech
Two widely used browsers both claim to protect your privacy, but they mean something different by it. One builds a stable profile to sell. The other tries to scatter it each session. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #digitalrights
Júlio Araújo (UFC) coined "necroalgorithmization": how AI systems automate exclusion. His essay tests the idea on a concrete case: what happens when you search "ugly hair" on Google Images. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #algorithmicbias
Ronaldo de Oliveira Batista, Associate Editor at Cadernos de Linguística, studies the history of linguistics in Brazil, tracing rivalries between theoretical schools. That view guides his editorial judgment. cadernos.abralin.org/index.php/ca...
Algorithms built to catch hate speech sometimes flag the people fighting it. Antiracist, feminist, and LGBT+ groups get over-moderated because machines read reclaimed slurs the same way they read attacks. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #contentmoderation
As Associate Editor of Cadernos de Linguística, Roberta Pires de Oliveira brings a comparative view of semantics, her research on quantity and definiteness spans Brazilian Portuguese and Rikbaktsa. cadernos.abralin.org/index.php/ca...
Every time you buy something with a card, walk with your phone, or search for a word, that action gets translated into data. The article by Moraes & Sousa (2026) argues that translation is never neutral — it carries the values of whoever designed the system. doi.org/10.25189/267... #datajustice
"What is dictatorship?" A researcher asked Grok that same question from four X accounts. The one with browsing history got longer, more specific answers than the blank one, even on the free tier. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #AIandlanguage
When a TV host says "Brazil was robbed," what does "Brazil" mean? A study asked 194 Brazilian adults to find out, and political leaning changed the answer. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #cognition
People often pick up a local accent when they move to a new city. Measuring these changes traditionally requires weeks of painstaking hand analysis. A new project tests whether software can do it just as well, in a fraction of the time. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #vowels
An essay proposes lived-body experiences: memories, race, and gender are never separate from the body that holds them, and naming that link can help confront coloniality today. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #coloniality
Rita de Cássia Souto Maior is an Associate Editor at Cadernos de Linguística. Her work connects language education with teacher development, literacy, identity, human rights and violence in discourse. cadernos.abralin.org/index.php/ca...
A word-cutting trend goes viral on TikTok. YouTube content guidelines limit which words can circulate on video. A study traces what connects the two. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #discourseanalysis
Most child language research uses structured tasks. This dataset is different: 21 months of one child talking with her mother and grandmother at home, from her first verb at 15 months to age 3. 131 verbs. 587 instances. Open on Zenodo. doi.org/10.25189/267... #linguistics #opendata
