Contemporary research in minoritized and diaspora languages of Europe

This volume provides a collection of research reports on multilingualism and language contact ranging from Romance, to Germanic, Greco and Slavic languages in situations of contact and diaspora. Most of the contributions are empirically-oriented studies presenting first-hand data based on original fieldwork, and a few focus directly on the methodological issues in such research. Owing to the multifaceted nature of contact and diaspora phenomena (e.g. the intrinsic transnational essence of contact and diaspora, and the associated interplay between majority and minoritized languages and multilingual practices in different contact settings, contact-induced language change, and issues relating t...

Inverno de 1864. Sentindo a morte a aproximar-se, Miguel Augusto regressa do Brasil, onde enriqueceu, e instala-se no velho burgo nortenho, no palacete conhecido como Casa das Camélias, com a intenção de perfilhar Teresa Baldaia e torná-la sua herdeira. No mesmo ano, Nicolau Sommersen pensa em fazer um bom casamento, não só para recuperar o património familiar que o tempo foi esfarelando, mas sobretudo para fugir à paixão que sente por Maria Adelaide Clarange, senhora casada e mãe de três filhos. Maria Ema Antunes, prima de Nicolau e governanta da Casa das Camélias, hábil e amargurada com a sua vida, urdirá entre todos uma teia de crimes, segredos e vinganças.Subvertendo as estratégias da narrativa histórica, com saltos cronológicos que deixam o leitor em suspenso mesmo até ao final, Rio do Esquecimento descreve com saboroso detalhe a sociedade portuense de Oitocentos e assinala o regresso à ficção portuguesa de uma escrita elegante que consegue tornar transparente a sua insuspeitada espessura.«Uma técnica inteligente, uma bela escrita, um alto voo da imaginação.» Mário Cláudio
