A fraseologia tem mostrado ser um importante aspecto linguístico. Como tal, teorias linguísticas viram-se forçadas a reavaliar suas ferramentas de análise de modo a incorporar tal aspecto da descrição linguística aos seus modelos. Com base nisso, áreas análogas como as teorias de aquisição de primeira e segunda línguas reconhecem a importância do conhecimento fraseológico dos falantes na comunicação efetiva, tanto no contexto da aquisição de L1 e L2 quanto no uso geral de linguagem. No entanto, apesar de ser um fenômeno relativamente bem conhecido nos estudos teóricos, pouco já foi dito sobre a relação entre fraseologia e sintaxe. Mais especificamente, a ideia de usar a fraseologia como um ponto de partida no ensino de estruturas gramaticais esquemáticas parece ser uma área promissora de aplicação e investigação. Este artigo tem como objetivo contribuir para essa área apresentando algumas ideias sobre como a fraseologia pode ser usada no ensino de gramática

The topic of dog-walking injuries has recently gained notoriety through major media outlets in North America, including the Washington Post, NPR, and US News and World Report. In this review, we have compiled data from the main studies published in the past 2 decades that assess the incidence, demographics, and injury patterns related to dog leash walking. The available papers indicate that dog leash-related injuries have increased, particularly among women over 65. The most common causes of injury are dog-pulling behavior, which can result in tripping or tangling, with or without a fall, as well as upper extremity injuries. However, there is a lack of information regarding dog size, breed, training status, the type of leash used at the time of injury, and the role each factor may have in the incidence of injuries. The available data did not allow for evaluation of the impact of weather conditions on injury incidence. Information about the involved dogs, type of lead device, and weather conditions could be useful in identifying risk factors associated with dog ownership and guide prospective pet owners and their families to mitigate the risk of injuries.

The text titled "The idea of using a heteronym" written by Rodrigo Rey Rosa, talks about the idea of using a heteronym while writing a fantastic story. The author explains that the use of a fictional name and past allowed him to say things that he doubts he would have conceived under his own name. Additionally, he mentions his intention to persuade his publishers to allow him to put his heteronym's name on the book cover and hide his own. He also reflects on the importance of literary criticism and the reception of his books. [Extracted from the article]

Purpose: The authors aimed to compare the effects of 4 weeks jump versus complex training methods on lower limb muscle power and maximal isokinetic torque of knee extensors and flexors in elite male volleyball players. Methods: Sixteen male volleyball players were allocated into 2 groups, jump training (n = 8; 27.0 [5.7] y, 94.3 [7.6] kg) and complex training (with induction of postactivation performance enhancement, n = 8; 26.6 [3.6] y, 94.2 [6.3] kg). All individuals performed jump training 2 sessions/wk, and the complex group received induction training with postactivation performance enhancement and jump training. Results: After 4 weeks, an increase in countermovement jump height (jump: 49.0 [1.2] to 52.7 [2.1] cm and complex: 49.2 [1.1] to 53.3 [1.9] cm; P =.009) and power (jump: 29.5 [1.1] to 34.3 [1.4] W and complex: 30.4 [0.9] to 34.4 [1.08] W; P =.001) was observed without significant differences between groups and without significant group × time interaction (P >.05). Also, no significant difference was observed between and within groups for the isokinetic peak torque at low speeds (60 and 180°s), although total muscle work and knee extensor/flexor ratio increased from pretraining to posttraining at 300° seconds similarly in both groups. Conclusion: The findings indicate that jump performance and power, knee extensor/flexor ratio, and total muscle work increased after 4 weeks of jump and complex training. However, the inclusion of heavy resistance stimulus did not elicit any additional improvements in the vertical jump performance and isokinetic strength of elite volleyball players.
