We have mentioned the problem in chapter 1. One of
the types of errors that we have analysed in this work is the
wbt type, that is to say, these students have identified the
boundaries of the English ngp but they have not been able to
replace the English structural elements in a ngp by the
equivalent ones in Portuguese. They have altered the message
conveyed in that ngp because they could not identify the headword
of the English ngp and perform the adequate class-shift; the
exponent of h in the English ngp has become. t.he exponent of (q)
in the Portuguese translation rendered by those students., i ns tead
of maintaining the same headword 'política' in Portuguese and
perform a class-shift at (m) to (q) in Portuguese, so that we
might have 'educacional' operating at (q) in the Portuguese
equivalent 'política educacional'.
