QUOTES

When an excerpt from the work is quoted literally, it must appear in quotation marks, with the author's last name, the date of publication used and the page where the excerpt is in parentheses, after it.

Examples:

According to George (1985, p. 44), “[...] Oswald manipulates the language of love [...]”.

Oliveira and Leonardos (1943, p. 146) say that the “[...] relationship of the São Roque series with the small porphyroid granites is very clear”.

When the author's last name is in parentheses, it must be written in capital letters.

Examples:

“Despite appearances, the deconstruction of logocentrism is not a psychoanalysis of philosophy [...]” (DERRIDA, 1967, p. 293).

“Don't move, pretend you're dead” (CLARAC; BONNIN, 1985, p. 72).

Note: any literal quotation with more than three lines must be highlighted with a 4 cm indent from the left margin, and must not be enclosed in quotation marks.

If an excerpt of the text is based on the work of the consulted author, but not literally taken from it, the author's surname and the date of the consulted work must be included.

Examples:

Irony would thus be an implicit form of heterogeneity, according to the classification proposed by Authier-Reiriz (1982).

Merriam and Caffarella (1991) note that resource location plays a crucial role in the self-directed learning process.

For study purposes, the units can be subdivided into subunits, in order to allow a detailing on another scale (MACEDO, 1997).

Several authors emphasize the importance of the “triggering event” at the beginning of a learning process (CROSS, 1984; KONX, 1986; MEZIROW, 1991).

Note: if there are two or three authors, put their last names in alphabetical order.

If an author is cited by another, use the expression “apud” (cited by), inform the date of publication of both and page.

Examples:

In Gough's serial model (1972 apud NARDI, 1993, p. 30), the act of reading involves a serial process that begins with an eye fixation on the text, proceeding from left to right in a linear fashion.

Emphasizing the cultural diversities of the landscapes that appropriate his work, Oiticica disdains the nationalist and reactionary ideas instilled “[...] of the biggest forest in the world, the biggest river in the world, the biggest I don’t-know-what in the world [...]” (OITICICA, 1977 apud AMARAL, 2006, p. 124).
