Análise das colocações verbais em documentos institucionais equivalência entre português e italiano

Abstract

The internationalization of higher education, a reflection of globalization, is a growing phenomenon that seeks to integrate universities into the global arena, fostering scientific, cultural, and technological development. In recent decades, this practice has become established as one of the main means of transforming institutions, and is even regarded as one of the indicators of academic quality. In this context, the present research aims to compare the verbal collocations that permeate the institutional documents of the seven state universities of Paraná and of the seven selected Italian partner universities, based on phraseological studies, seeking to understand how these collocations contribute to the formulation of internationalization initiatives and guidelines in these records. This investigation stems from the following question: in the context of institutional documentation, how do verbal collocations in Portuguese and Italian reveal convergent or divergent internationalization mechanisms? The study presents a quantitative and qualitative approach, of an interpretivist nature, aimed at identifying and analyzing the verbal collocations, followed by a comparative study between the corpora and a classification of the equivalences according to the typology proposed by Corpas Pastor. In the field of higher education internationalization, this research is grounded in the studies of Knight (1994, 2004, 2012, 2020), Morosini (2006, 2014, 2017), Santos and Almeida Filho (2012), De Wit (2013, 2015), and Stallivieri (2002, 2009, 2017). In addition, it draws on investigations completed in the Post-Graduate Program in Arts at Unioeste, such as those by Salles (2020), Boveto (2022), Stemposki Filho (2023), and Tavares (2024). In Phraseology, the contributions of Corpas Pastor (1996, 2017), Ortíz Alvarez (2001, 2017), Tagnin (2005, 2013), Monteiro-Plantin (2014), Orenha-Ottaiano (2000, 2001, 2004, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2015), Zavaglia and Fromm (2017), and Finatto (2018) stand out. Regarding studies focused on the Italian language, the works of Ribeiro (2005, 2023), Berruto (2012), Beloni (2015, 2021, 2023), Honório (2016), and Zanette (2022, 2023) are taken into consideration. For this purpose, Corpus Linguistics (Berber Sardinha, 2004, 2009, 2023) is adopted as the methodological basis, relying on the free version of the Sketch Engine tool for reading and analyzing the corpora. The results of this research revealed the phraseological diversity present in the institutional practices of the contexts analyzed, showing variations in the uses of verbal collocations in Portuguese and Italian, with a predominance of null equivalences. In the state universities of Paraná, the collocations are linked to administrative management, institutional regulation, and the fulfillment of internal guidelines. In the Italian universities, the collocations are related to the implementation and promotion of actions, with a focus on practical execution. These patterns showed that each context mobilizes its own phraseological resources, resulting in distinct ways of organizing their internationalization policies.
