Resposta esperada

Model answer: First, identify cognates: 'globalization' (globalização) and 'migration' (migração) and also 'minority' (minoria) and 'dominant' (dominante). Recognizing these cognates gives immediate lexical access to key concepts. Second, use discourse cues: verbs and phrases like 'reshape', 'face challenges' and 'policies favor' indicate change, consequence and power dynamics. 'Reshape' signals variability; 'face challenges' and 'favor' show who benefits or loses. Combining cognates with those cues lets listeners infer precise meanings and perceive language as socially and politically situated—not static but affected by migration, policy and inequality.

Explicação

A resposta analisa como os cognates permitem acesso rápido a conceitos-chave, facilitando a compreensão do tema. Além disso, os elementos de discurso indicam dinâmicas de poder e mudança, reforçando a ideia de que a linguagem é influenciada por fatores sociais e políticos. Essa combinação de elementos linguísticos ajuda a captar a complexidade da relação entre linguagem, migração e políticas.
