Questão de Languages, Codes and their Technologies #019e354a
Evanildo Bechara prepara a sua aposentadoria de pouco em pouco, como se a adiasse ao máximo. Aos 95 anos, o imortal da Academia Brasileira de Letras (ABL) alcançou um status de astro pop no mundo da filologia e da gramática. Quando ainda tinha saúde para viagens mais longas, o filólogo lotava plateias em suas palestras na Europa e no Brasil, que não raro terminavam com filas para selfies.
A idade acentuou o lado “cientista” e professor de Bechara, que adota um tom técnico na conversa até mesmo diante das perguntas mais pessoais. — “Qual o seu tipo preferido de leitura?”. — “A minha leitura está dividida em duas partes, a científica e a literária, estabelecendo uma relação de causa e efeito entre elas.” — responde.
Ainda adolescente, Bechara descobriu a lexicologia. Um “novo mundo” se abriu para o pernambucano, que se mantém atento às metamorfoses do nosso idioma. Seu colega de ABL, o filólogo Ricardo Cavaliere, se lembra de quando deu carona para o mestre e este encucou com os estrangeirismos do aplicativo de navegação instalado no veículo. — “A vozinha do aplicativo avisou que havia um radar de velocidade ‘reportado’ à frente”, lembra Cavaliere. — “Esse ‘reportado’ é uma importação, né?”, notou Bechara.

Analysis of the Text about Evanildo Bechara
The correct answer is option A. E) Occupational, since it uses terms specific to its field of activity.
1. Focus on Professional Language
The text constructs the image of Evanildo Bechara as a professional whose identity as a philologist and grammarian permeates all aspects of his life, including his everyday communication. The speech attributed to him is not merely formal or elaborate, but is marked by a perspective and vocabulary specific to his field. occupation.
Let's analyze the examples from the text:
- "Adoption of a technical tone [...] even when faced with the most personal questions": This is the main clue. The language he uses doesn't change with the situation (formal vs. informal), but is consistently shaped by his profession. * The answer regarding reading: When asked about his preferred type of reading, he doesn't give a casual answer. He analytically classifies it into "scientific and literary, establishing a cause-and-effect relationship between them."This structure and terminology are typical of an academic approach, specific to its field of study." * Analysis in the car: In the most casual moment described (a ride), his philologist's instinct manifests itself. He immediately analyzes the word "reported" and classifies it with a technical term from his field:'import'" (a foreign word).
These examples show that the linguistic variety highlighted is professional jargon, the way of speaking shaped by one's profession.
2. Evaluation of Other Alternatives
-
A) Situational, because the context requires the use of formal language: Incorrect. The text makes it clear that he maintains this "technical tone" even in informal situations (a personal question, a conversation in the car), where the context would not require formality. The variation, therefore, is not situational.
-
B) regional, as it bears the marks of the speech of his birthplace: Incorrect. The text mentions that he is from Pernambuco, but it doesn't present any examples of regionalism or accent in his speech. The hallmark of his language is professional, not geographical.
-
C) sociocultural, since its formation presupposes the use of elaborate language: Incorrect, but because it's less precise. Although their high level of education (a sociocultural factor) is the source of their knowledge, the variety demonstrated is more specific. It's not just a matter of "refined" language from a cultural elite, but of... specific vocabulary of a professionThe alternative "occupational" is more accurate.
-
D) generational, since he uses terms characteristic of his age group: Incorrect. The terms he uses ("cause and effect relationship," "importation") are technical linguistic terms, not slang or expressions typical of people over 90 years old. A young philologist would use the same terminology.
3. Conclusion
Evanildo Bechara's statements are the perfect example of a occupational variety, in which the speaker's profession directly influences their vocabulary, thought structure, and way of expressing themselves, regardless of the context.
