This volume brings together a collection of papers based on presentations given at the 10th and 11th Fora for Linguistic Sharing, organised by the Young Researchers Group of the Centro de Linguística da Universidade Nova de Lisboa (CLUNL) and held at Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, Portugal, on the 27th and 28th November 2015 and on the 25th November 2016, respectively. The papers are authored by young researchers in linguistics and present the results of original research in two broad areas, namely text and discourse linguistics and grammar. This volume also includes a brief history of the Forum for Linguistic Sharing written by its founders, Audria Leal, Carla Teixeira, Isabelle Simões Marques and Matilde Gonçalves; a keynote article on text linguistics by Matilde Gonçalves; and a keynote article on word formation by Maria do Céu Caetano. Given that it brings together contributions from different, yet complementary, subfields of linguistics, the book will appeal to a broad readership of linguists.
Considerado um dos melhores romances de Nelson Rodrigues, esta autobiografia fictícia traz à luz a vida de Suzana Flag, pseudônimo do autor e uma personagem misteriosa para os leitores. Edição com textos de apoio da roteirista Renata Corrêa e da professora Elen de Medeiros.

A decisão é, como explica a avó, uma forma de conter a personalidade rebelde de Suzana, que, se não to...
What is literature? What is poetry? How do poets committed to the idea of using poetry as a weapon of socio-cultural and political struggle manage to impress their works in the minds and memories of men long after the struggle has been fought and won or lost? What will a new generation of poets write about after the explosive social contradictions that inspired older poets have been resolved? Why do the themes and styles of poets in transitional societies change along with human fortunes and circumstances? This book provides answers to these questions and more... using the poetic heritage of South Africa. It is a compelling pedagogic work, a must-read for every student, researcher and teacher of African poetry, and a collector’s item for the general public.

From Language to Discourse contains selected texts from the 6th and 7th Linguistics Sharing Forums, which took place at the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences of Universidade Nova de Lisboa, on 25th November 2011 and 23rd November 2012, respectively. The articles included in this volume present the results of ongoing research in different domains of linguistics, such as phonology, language acquisition, syntax, and terminology. It is important to mention that these papers should be seen as work in progress, given that the young researchers who authored them are not yet PhD degree holders. However, all articles have been evaluated by an academic committee prior to publication. In addition, this book also includes the publication of two papers authored by João Costa, and Maria Antónia Coutinho, senior researchers of the Linguistics Centre of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa (CLUNL).

Not everything was tragic. I do have a few happy and funny memories, spent mostly in the company of my siblings. I used to eat figs sitting at the top of the fig tree. One time, Lídia and I were sitting on the same branch and José, on another. AL. was standing on the ground collecting the less sweet figs and putting them into the fold of her skirt. - Why won’t AL. climb up here with us? – I asked, with my mouth full of figs. - It’s so that you don’t look up at her knickers – Lídia answered, about to put a whole fig in her mouth. I let out a loud “Ah!” - Well, if you didn’t know, you do now – José threw in. Lídia’s bowels were rumbling – we could all hear them. Figs tend to have that effect on a person! Not all things that taste good, do you good! My sister shuffled on the branch and then pulled her skirt up. She was having an attack of diarrhoea and our presence wasn’t going to stop her from relieving herself: it hit AL. right on the head! The three of us let out uncontrollable shrieks of laughter!
Raza examines key literary journals published in French, English, and Portuguese by African writers in Europe in the period of decolonization mainly between 1940 and 1970, to understand how writers understood Empire as a political and cultural structure, and what conceptions of freedom, culture, and society underpinned anti-colonial thinking.
