Objective: To reflect on linguistics' and semiotics' contributions to intercultural training and indigenous and non-indigenous nurses' work in the Brazilian Health System, highlighting the challenges, potential and strategies of inclusive communication in healthcare of indi-genous peoples.
Method: This is a study with a theoretical-reflexive approach, supported by contemporary literature, as well as by the experience and identity of its authors, in order to elucidate the contributions brought by those sciences, in light of critical interculturality.
Results: It was organized into two cores, following the sequence of ideas on training, implementation and action: Linguistics and semiotics in intercultural training: strategies for equity in professional practice; and Language translation and interpretation: paths to equity in healthcare.
Final Considerations: The inclusion of specific linguistic and semiotic content in undergraduate courses, associated with the development of bilingual tools and the adoption of policies that respect the diverse indigenous worldviews, reinforces commitments to equity and social justice in healthcare services provided by the Brazilian public health system.

It had turned instead to the countertransference as a window of insight into the patient's preverbal fantasies. The danger, as the Lacanian tradition emphasizes, is that we might fall into "me-centered attention": a focus on our own meanings and resonances over those of the patient.

Background And Hypothesis: Machine learning (ML) models have been argued to reliably predict diagnosis and symptoms of schizophrenia based on voice data only. However, it is unclear to what extent such ML markers would generalize to different clinical samples and different languages, a crucial assessment to move toward clinical applicability. In this study, we systematically assessed the generalizability of current ML models of vocal markers of schizophrenia across contexts and languages.

The processing of emotional words plays a crucial role in everyday communication, yet the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying this process remain insufficiently understood. One particularly important question is whether and how emotion-label words (e.g.
