Em particular, detém -se na narrativa fundadora da nação moçambicana (formulada como história de conteúdo moral, ou fábula), questionando aspectos como o da sua relação com outras memórias e a sua natureza oral. Desta última, resulta, por um lado, uma capacidade de adaptação às alterações circunstanciais do presente, e por outro um grande poder dos detentores da narrativa – as testemunhas. Discute também as relações necessariamente de tensão entre a memória política e a historiografia. No fundo, pergunta -se em que medida esta narrativa não se constitui como instrumento poderoso de diferenciação social e privilégio no actual quadro de luta pela democracia Tue, 28 Apr 2015 00:00:00 GMT http://www.repositorio.uem.mz/handle258/1059 2015-04-28T00:00:00Z http://www.repositorio.uem.mz/handle258/889 Title: O casamento prematuro em Moçambique: práticas, crenças e implicações na escolarização da rapariga no contexto rural Authors: Pinto, Sónia Basílio; Bolacha, Natália Helena da Fonseca Abstract: The present study discusses child marriage in Mozambique, practices, beliefs and implications for girls' schooling in the rural context, focusing on primary schools in rural areas. It is a theme that constitutes the epicenter of current concerns in the area of girls' education and society in general, given the involvement of various actors in order to ensure and promote the rights of girls in communities, such as, for example, permanence in school and its completion in regular time. Child marriage is one of the reasons that contribute to the early school dropout of girls in primary education, and this fact has chain consequences, such as child maternity, female illiteracy and loss of opportunities in the job market due to lack of professional skills. The main argument of the study is that child marriage, its practices and beliefs in rural areas negatively influence girls' schooling. The aim of the research is to understand the implications of child marriage in the schooling of girls in the rural context and, more specifically, to discuss the legality issues related to the prevention and combat of child marriage in the Mozambican context; present the main causes of child marriage involving school-age girls; identify the associated endogenous factors, practices and beliefs of child marriage in rural communities; to verify the exogenous factors associated with child marriage practices in rural communities in complete primary schools and; to describe the implications of child marriage on girls' schooling in the rural context. To meet these objectives, the study was based on a qualitative methodological approach, using semi-structured interviews and document analysis as data collection techniques and instruments. Based on the analysis and discussion of the results, it is concluded that the implications of early marriage in the schooling of girls in the rural context are the early school dropout of the girl associated with early pregnancy, child maternity, diseases that make it impossible for the girl to continue studies at subsequent levels and consequently not to be employed in the labor market.

Methodologically, a corpus consisting of 166 terms associated with 12 diseases developed in 6 Mozambican languages was compiled. Based on the terminological dimensions (cognitive, linguistic and communicative) (Sager, 1990), the study found that, communicability hierarchizes the strategies of term development. The study concludes that term development in the Mozambican languages requires that an assessment of communicability levels be considered in order to safeguard communication.

This study aims to explore the differences and similarities between the Changana spoken in Mozambique and the one spoken in South Africa regarding the use of personal deixis as a marker of respect but on the basis of data obtained from written material. We start from the assumption that in Changana, because it is a cross-border language, there may be differences in the way the speakers handle personal deictical expressions to express respect in communication - social deixis. We agree with Crystal (1997) when he advocates that in every language in the world there are strategies for marking respect and what is distinctive is the way in which the differences in social levels of the speakers are codified in the grammar and vocabulary of each particular language. The data analyzed comparatively were taken from two Changan novels, one Mozambican and the other South African. These data revealed that there is a disparate use of respect markers between the two communities, and that there are contexts in which the two express the same characteristics, thus concluding that the range of devices that members of these communities described in the two works analysed (novels), use in expressing respect and courtesy comes from the appreciation of the social relationships they establish between them, the social roles they play, age, and gender.
