The Routledge Handbook of Portuguese Phonology
The Routledge Handbook of Portuguese Phonology provides an up-to-date description of the Portuguese phonological system, including a thorough account of the fundamental concepts, data, and previous explanations, as well as the status quaestionis, directions for future research, and further reading. Divided into five parts with contributions from leading international scholars and rising stars, the book’s 23 chapters provide a thorough account of the Portuguese sound system and a range of perspectives on Portuguese phonology. This is the most comprehensive volume on Portuguese phonology written in English, and it delves into the most pressing issues and challenges regarding a wide variety of topics, such as segmental and suprasegmental phenomena; aspects concerning the interfaces between phonology and other linguistic domains; and issues on synchronic variation, diachronic change, acquisition, and the teaching of Portuguese speech prosody to non-native learners. This in-depth resource will be invaluable for researchers and advanced students of Portuguese language and linguistics, as well as those interested in phonology and linguistics more broadly.
Para o estudo comparativo de variedades do Português
This volume presents key results of the Estudo comparativo de variedades africanas, brasileiras e europeias do Português (ALFAL Project 21): (i) an overview of the results and new perspectives of analysis; (ii) the description of morphosyntactic phenomena in Portuguese varieties; and (iii) a discussion about methodological aspects fundamental to the development of comparative linguistic studies.
Proceedings of the VIIth GSCP International Conference. Speech and Corpora
The 7th International Conference of the Gruppo di Studi sulla Comunicazione Parlata, dedicated to the memory of Claire Blanche-Benveniste, chose as its main theme Speech and Corpora. The wide international origin of the 235 authors from 21 countries and 95 institutions led to papers on many different languages. The 89 papers of this volume reflect the themes of the conference: spoken corpora compilation and annotation, with the technological connected fields; the relation between prosody and pragmatics; speech pathologies; and different papers on phonetics, speech and linguistic analysis, pragmatics and sociolinguistics. Many papers are also dedicated to speech and second language studies. The online publication with FUP allows direct access to sound and video linked to papers (when downloaded).
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...
Current Approaches to Limits and Areas in Dialectology
Defining the geographical space of linguistic variation and drawing the areal distribution of linguistic variants are classical issues in dialectology. Over recent decades, advances in geolinguistic methods, along with new trends in the study of linguistic variation, have significantly shaped new ways of approaching limits and areas in dialectology. This volume is at the crossroads of recent methodological and conceptual developments in dialectology and brings together contributions offering an unusual panorama of case studies from Basque, Romance, Germanic, Celtic, and Slavic languages. The seventeen chapters in this volume address a wide spectrum of issues exploring new approaches to the interplay of dialect areas and time and society (Part I), current quantitative methods of studying dialect limits (Part II), and linguistic geovariation focused on lexical, prosodic, syntactic or morphosyntactic topics (Part III). One of the unique features of the volume is the important collection of contributions addressing issues of dialect syntax, a recent and rapidly growing field of linguistic research.
Signum v.24 n.2/ august 2021 (Versão Inglês)
Signum: Estudos da Linguagem is a publication edited by the Graduate Program in Language Studies of the State University of Londrina (UEL). It aims at disseminating original papers (articles and reviews) on linguistic description and analysis, text/discourse studies, teaching/learning and Portuguese, foreign and other languages teachers' education.
Secondary Content
In addition to expressing some main content, utterances often convey secondary content, which is content that is not their “main point”, but which rather provides side or background information, is less prominent than the main content, and shows distinctive behavior with respect to its role in discourse structure and which discourse moves it licenses. This volume collects original research papers on the semantics and pragmatics of secondary content. By covering a broad variety of linguistic phenomena that convey secondary content – including expressives, various particles, adverbials, pronouns, quotations, and dogwhistle language – the contributions show that secondary content is pervasive throughout different aspects of natural language and provide new insight into the nature of secondary content through new semantic and pragmatic analyses.
Indices - Literaturverzeichnis
Das LRL (8 Bände mit Halbbänden, 1988-2005) beschreibt zum ersten Mal in einem einzigen, einheitlich konzipierten Werk ausführlich alle romanischen Sprachen, ihre Dialekte und die von ihnen abgeleiteten Kreolsprachen in der Gesamtheit ihrer Aspekte: Darstellung des Sprachsystems in Gegenwart und Geschichte, Funktionieren des Systems in den Texten und in der Gesellschaft. Hinzu kommen die historisch-vergleichenden, die kontrastiven und die sprachtypologischen, also einzelsprachenübergreifenden Beschreibungen, die für das Verständnis des Faches Romanistik, aber auch für die Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft und die Anthropologie und die Ethnologie von besonderer Bedeutung sind. Ähnlich fachübergreifende Bedeutung haben die Bände I,1 und I,2 mit der Darstellung vergangener und heutiger sprachwissenschaftlicher Methoden und der Vorstellung der verschiedenen Bereiche einer Sprache im allgemeinen. Das LRL bietet für jeden einzelnen Bereich eine erste inhaltliche terminologische und bibliographische Orientierung und weist zugleich auf mögliche Themen für weitere Forschungen (insbesondere im jeweiligen Schlußkapitel Desiderata) hin.
Ensino de gramática
Como se deve ensinar Língua Portuguesa para os alunos de hoje? Já é possível enfrentar o grande desafio que se impôs quando uma grande massa de brasileiros trouxe às escolas seus falares, suas gramáticas particulares. Ao se expor uma diversidade linguística que, no ambiente escolar e nos livros didáticos, se fingia não existir, se tornou urgente uma mudança radical nas práticas descritivas e pedagógicas. Este livro resulta de crescente interesse em atender às exigências dessa mudança e em assumir uma posição objetiva ante a realidade escolar.
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.
