During English class, a Brazilian student is reading the first paragraph of Text I. She stops and tells the teacher, “I’m confused. The text says governments want to ‘work out’ how to ‘bring in’ regulations. I know ‘work’ is a job and ‘out’ is the opposite of ‘in’, but it doesn’t make any sense.”


In that situation, the accurate response from the teacher is


A

“In English, some words are like team players. When work joins with out, they stop being about jobs or being outside; together, they mean to solve a problem. Similarly, to bring in means to introduce or to start a new rule.”


B

“You are almost right! Work out is used here because the legislators are busy and out of the office, and bring in means they are literally carrying the paper documents for the regulations into the parliament building.”


C

“Actually, work out always refers to physical exercise or going to the gym. The text uses this as a metaphor to show that the governments are making their political muscles stronger so they can bring in (carry) the heavy weight of new laws.”


D

“The words out and in are just extra decorations called fillers. You can ignore them. Work out just means work, and bring in just means bring. They don’t change the meaning of the main action at all.”


E

“These are called directional verbs. Work out means the work is moving away from the person, and bring in means the rules are moving toward the person. It describes the physical direction of the conversation.”

A presença da Língua Inglesa no cotidiano brasileiro manifesta-se através de empréstimos linguísticos que sofrem processos de relexicalização ou adaptação fonológica. O uso de termos estrangeiros no Português do Brasil (PB) reflete não apenas a influência cultural, mas a necessidade de nomear novos fenômenos tecnológicos e comportamentais. Analisando o fenômeno dos estrangeirismos e sua integração lexical no sistema linguístico nacional, assinale a alternativa correta.


A

A Academia Brasileira de Letras (ABL) proíbe a inclusão de qualquer termo de origem estrangeira nos dicionários oficiais de língua portuguesa para preservar a pureza do idioma.


B

Os empréstimos linguísticos originários do inglês são restritos exclusivamente ao vocabulário de tecnologia da informação, sendo inexistentes em áreas como gastronomia, moda e economia.


C

O processo de aportuguesamento de termos em Língua Inglesa envolve frequentemente a adaptação fonética para a estrutura silábica do Português do Brasil, como a adição de uma vogal de apoio em palavras terminadas em consoantes oclusivas.


D

A influência do inglês no português brasileiro iniciou-se apenas na década de mil novecentos e noventa, após a abertura do mercado para a importação de computadores pessoais de baixo custo.


E

A utilização de anglicismos no discurso técnico-científico brasileiro é considerada uma evidência de empobrecimento gramatical irreversível da estrutura morfológica da língua latina.
