  • Searching a mixed corpus in the light of the new portuguese orthographic norm
    Publication . Carvalho, Gracinda; Falé, Isabel; Matos, David Martins de; Rocio, Vitor
    A mixed corpus of Portuguese is one in which texts of different origins produce different spelling variants for the same word. A new norm, which will bring together the written texts produced both in Portugal and Brazil, giving then a more uniform orthography, has been effective since 2009, but what happens in the perspective of search, to corpora created before the norm came into practice, or within the transition period? Is the information they contain outdated and worthless? Do they need to be converted to the new norm? In the present work we analyse these questions.
  • IDEST: International Database of Emotional Short Texts
    Publication . Kaakinen, Johanna K.; Werlen, Egon; Kammerer, Yvonne; Acarturk, Cengiz; Aparicio, Xavier; Baccino, Thierry; Ballenghein, Ugo; Bergamin, Per B.; Castells Gómez, Núria; Costa, Armanda; Falé, Isabel; Mégalakaki, Olga; Ruiz Fernandez, Susana
    We introduce a database (IDEST) of 250 short stories rated for valence, arousal, and comprehensibility in two languages. The texts, with a narrative structure telling a story in the first person and controlled for length, were originally written in six different languages (Finnish, French, German, Portuguese, Spanish, and Turkish), and rated for arousal, valence, and comprehensibility in the original language. The stories were translated into English, and the same ratings for the English translations were collected via an internet survey tool (N = 573). In addition to the rating data, we also report readability indexes for the original and English texts. The texts have been categorized into different story types based on their emotional arc. The texts score high on comprehensibility and represent a wide range of emotional valence and arousal levels. The comparative analysis of the ratings of the original texts and English translations showed that valence ratings were very similar across languages, whereas correlations between the two pairs of language versions for arousal and comprehensibility were modest. Comprehensibility ratings correlated with only some of the readability indexes. The database is published in osf.io/9tga3, and it is freely available for academic research.

  • Prosodic, syntactic, semantic guidelines for topic structures across domains and corpora
    Publication . Mata, Ana Isabel; Moniz, Helena; Móia, Telmo; Gonçalves, Anabela; Silva, Fátima; Batista, Fernando; Duarte, Inês; Oliveira, Fátima; Falé, Isabel
    This paper presents the annotation guidelines applied to naturally occurring speech, aiming at an integrated account of contrast and parallel structures in European Portuguese. These guidelines were defined to allow for the empirical study of interactions among intonation and syntax-discourse patterns in selected sets of different corpora (monologues and dialogues, by adults and teenagers). In this paper we focus on the multilayer annotation process of left periphery structures by using a small sample of highly spontaneous speech in which the distinct types of topic structures are displayed. The analysis of this sample provides fundamental training and testing material for further application in a wider range of domains and corpora. The annotation process comprises the following time-linked levels (manual and automatic): phone, syllable and word level transcriptions (including co-articulation effects); tonal events and break levels; part-of-speech tagging; syntactic-discourse patterns (construction type; construction position; syntactic function; discourse function), and disfluency events as well. Speech corpora with such a multi-level annotation are a valuable resource to look into grammar module relations in language use from an integrated viewpoint. Such viewpoint is innovative in our language, and has not been often assumed by studies for other languages.
  • Auditory processing disorder test battery in European Portuguese: development and normative data for pediatric population
    Publication . Martins, Jorge Humberto; Alves, Marisa; Andrade, Susana; Falé, Isabel; Teixeira, António
    There is an increasing need for state-of-the-art Central Auditory Processing assessment for Portuguese native speakers, applicable as early as possible. As a contribution to answering this need, this paper presents a new battery for Central Auditory Processing assessment for European Portuguese applicable to children aged 5 and above, named BAPA-PE, providing information regarding test selection and development. The battery consists of six behavioral tests: Staggered Spondaic Words (SSW) for European Portuguese, Filtered Speech, Speech in Noise, Detection Interval in Noise, Duration, and Frequency Pattern. The normative data for children aged 5 to 12 are also reported. A sample was obtained of 217 subjects without ear pathology and with typical development. Each age group was composed of at least 30 children. All children were evaluated using pure tone audiometry, speech audiometry, impedance, and otoacoustic emissions. Normative scores are reported for each of the six auditory processing tests. The assessment is applicable to young children (aged 5 and 6). The statistical analyses showed significant effects in scores of Age for all tests and of Ear for several tests. The main result from the work presented, the Auditory Processing Assessment Battery—European Portuguese (BAPA-PE), is available for clinical use with normative data. This battery is a new tool for behaviorism assessment of European Portuguese speakers with suspected central auditory pathology and for monitoring the results of auditory training.

  • Literacia e inclusão digital no ensino superior online: impactos em adultos diplomados
    Publication . Henriques, Susana; Neves, Claudia; Silva, Ana Paula; Abrantes, Pedro; Ramos, Maria do Rosário; Jacquinet, Marc; Bäckström, Bárbara; Falé, Isabel; Magano, Olga
    A partir de um enquadramento teórico, que mobiliza contributos da literacia e inclusão digital, da aprendizagem ao longo da vida, da educação digital e da empregabilidade, analisam-se dados recolhidos através de inquéritos de follow-up aos licenciados que concluíram o curso entre 2011 e 2018 no ensino superior online. Pretende-se, com o presente estudo, contribuir para aprofundar o conhecimento sobre as competências digitais e inclusão digital associadas a adultos diplomados em cursos oferecidos em regime de educação digital. Os resultados apresentados permitem informar as políticas públicas e corroboram os resultados de outros estudos, no sentido em que é evidenciado que as competências de literacia digital e os níveis de inclusão digital são positivamente impactados pela educação e formação online.
  • Ensino superior a distância e o desenvolvimento de competências profissionais: uma análise com base nas perceções dos diplomados
    Publication . Henriques, Susana; Neves, Claudia; Silva, Ana Paula; Abrantes, Pedro; Bäckström, Bárbara; Falé, Isabel; Jacquinet, Marc; Magano, Olga; Ramos, Maria do Rosário
    Quem são os estudantes que optam pela Educação Superior a Distância ? Quais as suas expetativas e grau de satisfação com os cursos nesta modalidade ? Qual o impacto do curso na vida profissional e pessoal do estudante da UAb ? O presente artigo centra-se nestas questões, seguindo um enquadramento teórico que mobiliza estudos sobre a procura de respostas para novos públicos e novas necessidades nas sociedades atuais. O desenho metodológico seguiu a aplicação de um questionário, desenhado no âmbito do Observatório dos Percursos Profissionais e de Vida dos Diplomados da Universidade Aberta, aos estudantes que terminaram a licenciatura em 2014 e 2015. Os resultados remetem para uma satisfação global com a realização da licenciatura online, na medida em que revelam conforto no uso da plataforma e reconhecem vantagens no regime de aprendizagem. Destaca-se a valorização do prestígio social associado ao diploma de ensino superior. Concluímos que a pesquisa sobre o fenómeno da empregabilidade no ensino superior precisa de mais desenvolvimento. Os estudantes adultos apresentam um conjunto de necessidades diferenciadas, sobretudo relacionadas com a aquisição de competências para melhorar as suas condições profissionais, de empregabilidade e o desenvolvimento das suas carreiras. Os dados deste estudo reforçam a ideia de educação ao longo da vida associada ao ensino a distância como importante forma de desenvolvimento e aquisição não só de conhecimentos, como também, de competências transversais fundamentais a todos os contextos da vida e para a mobilidade profissional.
