RESUMO

This dissertation approaches the use of foreignisms in the supplements Economia (Economics) of the newspaper O Estado de São Paulo (The State of São Paulo) and Dinheiro (Money) of the newspaper Folha de São Paulo (São Paulos Newspaper) for a period of three months, from May to July, 2006. As from the criticism made to the insertion of foreignisms into Brazils Portuguese language, specially by the Bill 1676/99 of congressman Aldo Rebelo, which Disposes on the promotion, protection, defense and usage of the Portuguese language, this study aimed at showing how the foreignisms constitute themselves as a source of accretion to the changeable nature of a language. In order to achieve that, we based our work on specialists who have been dealing with foreignisms, such as: Carlos Alberto Faraco (2004), Nelly Carvalho (1987), José Luiz Fiorin (2004), Ana Maria S. Zilles (2004), Ieda Maria Alves (2004), Maria Tereza C. Biderman (2001) and on several discourses: debates in the press about the use of foreign words and expressions, laws, bills and decrees. In order to enlighten the use of foreignisms, we made use of a quantitative approach in which we showed their frequency and behavior in the corpus. The results made evident that it is possible to have the wide presence of foreignisms living together with a text which has the Brazilian Portuguese language as its basis. Such study allowed us to consider that the use of foreignisms in the economy area of the journalistic discourse does not represent a linguistic threaten, but constitutes a lexical variant in Brazils Portuguese language.
