Translinguismo e identidade através do (re)conhecimento de alguns regionalismos madeirenses por luso-venezuelanos e venezuelanos

Publication . Nunes, Naidea Nunes

Partindo dos resultados obtidos nas respostas escritas a um questionário léxico-semântico aplicado a luso-venezuelanos e a venezuelanos sobre alguns regionalismos madeirenses, discutem-se os conceitos de translinguismo e identidade do ponto de vista da produção escrita sobretudo dos aprendentes de Português Língua de Herança enquanto bilingues emergentes. Pretende-se aferir as estratégias de translinguismo na escrita e comparar o (re)conhecimento do vocabulário enquanto marca identitária da Madeira por parte dos luso-venezuelanos (com uma identidade híbrida) e dos venezuelanos com os resultados obtidos junto dos madeirenses que sempre residiram na ilha. O translinguismo surge no recurso à L1, o Espanhol (da Venezuela), e na mescla deste com o Português. Observou-se que as palavras mais reconhecidas correspondem às mais usadas na Madeira, de acordo com investigação prévia.

Publication . Nunes, Naidea Nunes

This study shows the potential of culture, society, and language tourism for the sustainable deve lopment of the island of Madeira. The intention is to ascertain the level of knowledge of students in the higher professional technical course of tourist information and marketing at Madeira University about their local identity and the importance of cultural heritage for sustainable tourism. The research question is about the role of com munities‘ tangible and intangible cultural heritage (ICH) (including language or linguistic heritage) for the sus tainability of tourism in the region. The qualitative and descriptive methodology used is based on data collected through a questionnaire with open questions applied in the classroom to 43 tourism students from different locali ties about their cultural heritage and identity. The results of the sample show that religious festivities, Madeiran regionalisms and traditional expressions were registered in Funchal and outside. For the city of Funchal (the capital of Madeira) there are more indications of tangible cultural heritage. For the other municipalities, ICH predominates with diverse local handicrafts and festivities of agricultu ral products. Thus, communities’ preservation of their ICH is fundamental for local identity and sustainability. Stu dents, together with Madeiran cultural associations and local people, have an important role to play in the authen ticity and sociocultural sustainability of regional tourism
