A half century of Romance linguistics: Selected proceedings of the 50th Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages
The present volume presents a selection of the revised and peer-reviewed proceedings articles of the 50th Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages (LSRL 50) which was hosted virtually by the faculty and students from the University of Texas at Austin. With contributions from rising and senior scholars from Europe and the Americas, the volume demonstrates the breadth of research in contemporary Romance linguistics with articles that apply corpus-based and laboratory methods, as well as theory, to explore the structure, use, and development of the Romance languages. The articles cover a wide range of fields including morphosyntax, semantics, language variation and change, sociophonetics, historical linguistics, language acquisition, and computational linguistics. In an introductory article, the editors document the sudden transition of LSRL 50 to a virtual format and acknowledge those who helped them to ensure the continuity of this annual scholarly meeting.
Referring to discourse participants in Ibero-Romance languages
This volume brings together contributions by researchers focusing on personal pronouns in Ibero-Romance languages, going beyond the well-established variable of expressed vs. non-expressed subjects. While factors such as agreement morphology, topic shift and contrast or emphasis have been argued to account for variable subject expression, several corpus studies on Ibero-Romance languages have shown that the expression of subject pronouns goes beyond these traditionally established factors and is also subject to considerable dialectal variation. One of the factors affecting choice and expression of personal pronouns or other referential devices is whether the construction is used personally o...
Manual of Brazilian Portuguese Linguistics
This manual is the first comprehensive account of Brazilian Portuguese linguistics written in English, offering not only linguists but also historians and social scientists new insights gained from the intensive research carried out over the last decades on the linguistic reality of this vast territory. In the 20 overview chapters, internationally renowned experts give detailed yet concise information on a wide range of language-internal as well as external synchronic and diachronic topics. Most of this information is the fruit of large-scale language documentation and description projects, such as the project on the linguistic norm of educated speakers (NURC), the project “Grammar of spok...
Brazilian Portuguese and the Null Subject Parameter
Using the Null Subject Parameter theory in cross linguistic variation, Brazilian Portuguese is studied in this book from a diachronic and a synchronic perspective, and from the language acquisition point of view.
Traços de mudança e de permanência em editoriais de jornais pernambucanos
This book deals with the Press in Brazil in its historical, social and cultural context, with particular attention being paid to the strategies of printed written communication. The author reconstructs the constellation of texts into which the discursive tradition of the editorial is integrated. The emphasis is placed on the description of the features of both linguistic and extra-linguistic change and continuity which characterise leading articles published in Brazilian Portuguese in the 19th century so that the relationship between the historicity of the language and the text is impressed on the reader.

Exaptation and Language Change
This volume is the first collection of papers that is exclusively dedicated to the concept of exaptation, a notion from evolutionary biology that was famously introduced into linguistics by Roger Lass in 1990. The past quarter-century has seen a heated debate on the properties of linguistic exaptation, its demarcation from other processes of linguistic change, and indeed the question of whether it is a useful concept in historical linguistics at all. The contributions in the present volume reflect these diverging points of view. Along with a comprehensive introduction, covering the history of the notion of exaptation from its conception in the field of biology to its adoption in linguistics, the book offers extensive discussion of the concept from various theoretical perspectives, detailed case studies as well as critical reviews of some stock examples. The book will be of interest to scholars working in the fields of evolutionary linguistics, historical linguistics, and the history of linguistics.
Papeis de poesia
Sorte do leitor que tem em mãos este livro. "Papéis de poesia II" proporciona momentos de deslumbramento ao percorrer as veredas da poesia, mapeadas pelas sábias e sensíveis mãos do autor. O título já antecipa seu assunto: a poesia. A propósito, Antonio Carlos Secchin compartilha com seus leitores variadas maneiras de ler, de discutir e – até! – de escrever poesia. Devassa bastidores de alguns de seus poemas, apresenta o percurso de suas leituras de poemas alheios e não hesita em discutir aspectos gerais da poesia. Em tudo e por tudo isso, propõe um belo passeio pelo território da poesia que, como diz Secchin, é "linguagem descompromissada com o caráter utilitário da palavra". Marisa Lajolo
