Portuguese Language History & Linguistics
Manual de Linguística Portuguesa by
This Manual provides a general yet detailed account of the current research in Portuguese linguistics by combining overview chapters and in-depth analyses of selected topics. It integrates diachronic and synchronic, standard and dialectal, adult grammar and L1 acquisition data and offers comprehensive information on specific features of Portuguese, using the methods and insights of present-day linguistic research. The overview chapters feature linguistic fields that significantly developed over the past decades in the context of research on Portuguese (e.g. language contact, prosody, the computational lexicon, forensic phonetics). The chapters covering particular topics in syntax, semantics and phonology deal with new empirical data and current analyses of well-known features of Portuguese such as the inflected infinitive, the pattern of clitic placement, the subjunctive, the reduction of atonic vowels, as well as newer issues (e.g. null subjects, complex predicates, the answering system, some dialectal phenomena). The volume will be unique as a state-of-the-art collection of papers conceived to be used as a Manual of Portuguese Linguistics in the academic context. The individual contributors rank among the best-known experts in the field.

África à vista: dez estudos sobre o português escrito por africanos no Brasil do século XIX by
A formação histórica do português brasileiro deu-se em complexo contexto decontato entre línguas. Dentre as diversas situações de contato havidas, a doportuguês com línguas africanas assume maior relevância por ter sido generalizadano tempo e no espaço. Africanos e afro-descendentes, no período que se estende doséculo XVII ao século XIX, correspondem juntos a cerca de 60% da populaçãobrasileira (cf. MUSSA, 1991). Contudo, a escrita da história lingüística deste que é o mais expressivo segmento formador da população brasileira era tarefa que secolocava no plano de uma reconstrução quase que exclusivamente a partir de'indícios', uma tarefa não para historiadores, mas para arqueólogos da línguaportuguesa (cf. MATTOS E SILVA, 2002) (trecho retirado da Introdução do livro).
