Vozes e letras
A literatura medieval e renascentista tem sido considerada como sendo muito homogénea quanto à sua discursividade; mas um olhar atento e sensível pode revelar desvios e particularidades interessantes. Das cantigas galego-portuguesas ao teatro de Gil Vicente, ao Cancioneiro Geral e a Camões, o recurso a vozes individuais, que se articulam em perspectivas discordantes e que fazem ouvir disposições por vezes conflituais, suscita formas polifónicas e subjectividades inesperadas que conferem aos textos estéticas próprias. Os trabalhos reunidos no presente volume evidenciam a importância de tais fenómenos e os nexos da polifonia literária com o problema de a autoria demonstrar traços individuais, com a influência dos contextos socioculturais e poetológicos e com a relevância da realização plurimedial.

The Handbook of Lexical Functional Grammar
Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG) is a nontransformational theory of linguistic structure, first developed in the 1970s by Joan Bresnan and Ronald M. Kaplan, which assumes that language is best described and modeled by parallel structures representing different facets of linguistic organization and information, related by means of functional correspondences. This volume has five parts. Part I, Overview and Introduction, provides an introduction to core syntactic concepts and representations. Part II, Grammatical Phenomena, reviews LFG work on a range of grammatical phenomena or constructions. Part III, Grammatical modules and interfaces, provides an overview of LFG work on semantics, argument...
Encountering Others, Understanding Ourselves in Medieval and Early Modern Thought
Recent research has challenged our view of the Abrahamic religious traditions as unilaterally intolerant and incapable of recognizing otherness in all its diversity and richness; but a diachronic and comparative study of how these traditions deal with otherness is yet to appear. This volume aims to contribute to such a study by presenting different treatments of otherness in medieval and early modern thought. Part I: Altruism deals with attitudes and behaviors that benefit others, regardless of its motives. We deal with the social rights and emotions as well as the moral obligations that the very existence of other human beings, whatever their characteristics, creates for a community. Part I...

Culture and Society in Medieval Galicia
In Culture and Society in Medieval Galicia, twenty-three international authors examine Galicia’s changing place in Iberia, Europe, and the Mediterranean and Atlantic worlds from late antiquity through the thirteenth century. With articles on art and architecture; religion and the church; law and society; politics and historiography; language and literature; and learning and textual culture, the authors introduce medieval Galicia and current research on the region to medievalists, Hispanists, and students of regional culture and society. The cult of St. James, Santiago Cathedral, and the pilgrimage to Compostela are highlighted and contextualized to show how Galicia’s remoteness became th...
Three Discovery Plays
The three plays edited and translated in this volume are strongly linked to what we now think of as the Portuguese Discoveries. All three are fundamentally concerned with the expansion of Portugal in Africa and India through either crusade or commerce. In the introductions to the plays, the playwright's social role as a court dramatist is emphasized and his dramatic productions are set firmly within the political concerns of his time. Careful consideration is given to the involvement of both Gil Vicente and the Inquisition in the later emendation of the play's texts.
