Keeping formalism to a minimum, it focuses on presenting the linguistic facts in a systematic way, providing a useful global overview of the Portuguese language and its surrounding issues. Assuming very little prior knowledge of linguistic terminology, Portuguese: A Linguistic Introduction is designed to help intermediate and advanced students of Portuguese understand how the language functions at all levels, and to give students of linguistics a useful starting point for work on the structure of Portuguese. It also includes a chapter on Portuguese in Brazil, where approximately 80% of Portuguese speakers live. Clearly organized, it covers the central topics of syntax, phonology, morphology, semantics, and pragmatics, and explores the social and historical background of Portuguese, its development and spread in the world, and related sociolinguistic issues such as dialect variation and language planning. ![]() ![]() ![]() This accessible new book provides a comprehensive introduction to the linguistic structure of Portuguese. ![]()
