Deconstructing Language Structure and Meaning
This volume brings together a number of researchers working on generative syntax and semantics, language acquisition and phonology to explore various theoretical frameworks, ranging from generative grammar and formal semantics to more descriptive approaches. The contributions gathered here investigate various aspects in the syntax, semantics, phonology and acquisition of Romanian in comparison with other (mainly Romance) languages. The book will be of interest to linguists who are keen on keeping up with the latest advances in the field of Romance studies, as well as those whose research bears on languages such as Hungarian, German, and Maltese, among others.
The Syntax of Portuguese
A comprehensive look at the syntactic properties of Portuguese, focusing on differences between European and Brazilian Portuguese such as their pronominal and agreement systems, null subjects, null complements and word order. It is essential reading for researchers and students of Portuguese language, Romance linguistics and theoretical syntax.
Drama humano na sociedade do espetáculo
"Drama humano na sociedade do espetáculo: reflexões sobre arte, educação e políticas públicas, em tempos de pandemia" é o resultado do trabalho coletivo realizado por pesquisadores do Grupo de Estudo e Pesquisa Educação, Sociedade e Políticas Públicas: concepções da Teoria Histórico-Cultural – GEPESPP e do Laboratório de Educação e Desenvolvimento Psicológico – LEDEP. A obra retrata um momento histórico vivenciado no Brasil, diante do cenário pandêmico mundial da Covid-19, e suas implicações em diferentes segmentos sociais. A obra traz uma contribuição para a discussão e reflexão sobre o tema, através de análises críticas para além da mera descrição da realidade na busca pela gênese dos fenômenos observados. O livro é destinado aos que desejam se aprofundar nos estudos e reflexões sobre a vida e a sociedade, suas contradições e desafios historicamente constituídos visando compreender as múltiplas dimensões do drama humano.
Dative constructions in Romance and beyond
This book offers a comprehensive account of dative structures across languages –with an important, though not exclusive, focus on the Romance family. As is well-known, datives play a central role in a variety of structures, ranging from ditransitive constructions to cliticization of indirect objects and differentially marked direct objects, and including also psychological predicates, possessor or causative constructions, among many others. As interest in all these topics has increased significantly over the past three decades, this volume provides an overdue update on the state of the art. Accordingly, the chapters in this volume account for both widely discussed patterns of dative constructions as well as those that are relatively unknown.
Indefinites in Romance and beyond
Due to their flexibility in interpretation, the use of indefinites and other quantificational expressions is highly variable and subject to dynamic processes of language change. The present volume addresses fundamental linguistic questions about language variation and change in Romance quantificational expressions. It focuses on quantificational expressions in language varieties that have not received much attention in the previous literature, such as Old Sardinian, Argentinian Spanish, Palenquero Creole and Cabindan Portuguese, Catalan, Romanian, and others. The studies included in this volume offer new data on these processes of variation and advance theoretical discussions about language variation and change.
História do português brasileiro
This volume gathers contributions on the linguistic and sociocultural history of Brazilian Portuguese, considering aspects related to the socio-historical development of (the) Portuguese in (of) Brazil. It brings to the public the output of Project 3 – "History of Brazilian Portuguese: from Europe to America" – of the Latin American Association of Linguistics and Philology (ALFAL).
Address in Portuguese and Spanish
The volume provides the first systematic comparative approach to the history of forms of address in Portuguese and Spanish, in their European and American varieties. Both languages share a common history—e.g., the personal union of Philipp II of Spain and Philipp I of Portugal; the parallel colonization of the Americas by Portugal and Spain; the long-term transformation from a feudal to a democratic system—in which crucial moments in the diachrony of address took place. To give one example, empirical data show that the puzzling late spread of Sp. usted ‘you (formal, polite)’ and Pt. você ‘you’ across America can be explained for both languages by the role of the political and military colonial administration. To explore these new insights, the volume relies on an innovative methodology, as it links traditional downstream diachrony with upstream diachronic reconstruction based on synchronic variation. Including theoretical reflections as well as fine-grained empirical studies, it brings together the most relevant authors in the field.
