Do Our Beliefs Affect The Way We Sound? The Phenomenon of Second Language Pronunciation
Age of first exposure to the target language has been shown to be a strong predictor of phonological attainment (e.g., Pullen, 2012; Piske et al., 2001 & Moyer, 1999). Results from these studies support the Critical Period Hypothesis, that is, the notion that there is a neurological period, ending at the onset of puberty, beyond which mastery of a second language is no longer achievable (Lenneberg, 1967). The prominence of the Critical Period Hypothesis in the field of Applied Linguistics has diminished the impact of research on socio-psychological differences in second language acquisition. A neurologically based component such as age of learning onset is not, however, the single determining factor of second language ability. Little is known about the influence of socio-psychological factors on pronunciation performance. This book attempts to bridge this gap in the literature by examining the effects of beliefs about second language pronunciation on phonological performance. The book concludes that certain beliefs associated with affective factors appear to be detrimental to L2 phonological attainment.
Wh-exclamatives, Imperatives and Wh-questions
Research on left periphery phenomena has increased in the last 20 years, resulting in consistent studies from a wide range of languages and a fruitful debate on the functional projections within the CP system. Throughout these years, important contributions have been made on Brazilian Portuguese, especially on wh-interrogative sentences, focalization, topicalization and relative clauses. As for exclamative and imperative sentences, however, there is a considerable research gap in all grammatical levels. Regarding interrogatives, semantic and prosodic studies are still lacking (as well as research on the acquisition and processing of these constructions). This collected volume fills some of those gaps, gathering studies on wh-exclamatives, imperatives and wh-questions in Brazilian Portuguese which approach syntactical, semantical and prosodic aspects of these constructions through a rich and unregistered set of data. They also deliver novel acquisition and diachronic data that will further both the comprehension of Brazilian Portuguese grammar and the ongoing discussions on left periphery phenomena.
Politics and Parentela in Paraiba
This richly documented work focuses on the parentela (extended family), including Epitacio's, to illustrate the role bonds of blood, marriage, and friendship played in formal politics at local, state, and national levels throughout the Old Republic (1889-1930). Originally published in 1987. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Letras em Pesquisas: graduandos em ação
É com muita alegria que apresento o livro Letras em Pesquisas: graduandos em ação. A missão de fazer um prefácio pressupõe conhecimento da obra, dos autores e do tema, e, como diz o dicionário, é a ação de apresentar a outrem o trabalho expresso em um livro. É uma honra e um desafio que espero desempenhar bem, considerando toda a força expressa nesse trabalho. Falar de um trabalho que engloba experiências e geografias distintas, orientadores e orientandos que, entre 2021 (em um ano ainda pandêmico) e 2023, produziram pesquisas relevantes em seu contexto as quais agora são expostas nesse livro, é uma enorme satisfação. Vou além, e digo que é um orgulho, como gestora da ár...
Atlas Linguístico do Brasil
Com dois volumes – Volume 1 – Introdução e Volume 2 – Cartas linguísticas 1 -, dá-se início à publicação do Atlas linguístico do Brasil, cumprindo-se, assim, o compromisso firmado, em 1996, por ocasião do Simpósio Caminhos e Perspectivas para a Geolinguística no Brasil (Salvador, Universidade Federal da Bahia, novembro, 1996), e atendendo a desejo, de há muito manifesto, de que venha o nosso país a ter o seu atlas linguístico nacional, no tocante à língua portuguesa. Relata-se, no Volume 1, parte significativa da história da construção do Atlas linguístico do Brasil, apresenta-se a metodologia seguida, com destaque para a rede de pontos, os questionários e os informantes, a que se junta a informação sobre a cartografia dos dados. O Volume 2, que segue, traz resultados das 25 capitais brasileiras objeto da pesquisa – Palmas e Brasília, por razões metodológicas, não foram incluídas -, espelhados em mapas linguísticos com dados fonéticos, morfossintáticos e semântico-lexicais que exibem a realidade estudada.

E.F.K. Koerner
This fascicle contains the complete bibliography up to 1999 of E.F. Konrad Koerner, the founder and director of the journal Historiographia Linguistica (1974-), and editor of Diachronica and of various specialized linguistic series. Koerner's scholarly work, which is surveyed in the introductory "Biographical notice" (by P. Swiggers) focuses on the history of linguistics in the past two centuries, especially on the relationship between historical-comparative grammar and various forms of "general linguistics". The "Biographical Notice" is divided into seven sections: Books and Volumes edited; Articles, Chapters in Volumes and Minor Papers; Review Articles and Reviews; Miscellanea: Papers read; Journals edited; General Editorship. In the first paper that follows the bibliography, Koerner presents a critical overview of linguistic historiography and outlines some prospects. The second paper explores the delicate question of the role of ideological convictions in linguistics, and in human sciences in general.
