Dissertation Abstract:

To divulge the Portuguese language and Brazilian cultural identity throughout
the world, it is necessary to develop a contextual, perceptive and coherent
analysis that allows said expanding culture to analyze itself and prosper with
all its peculiarities. Considering the sine qua non condition that
communication is the result of language, that language is materialized through
idioms, which in turn portray the realities of specific identities, it can be
affirmed that the Portuguese language plays an important and indispensable
role in the global projection of Brazil and of the member countries of CPLP
(Comunidade dos Países de Língua Portuguesa, Community of Portuguese Language
Countries). Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze the language policy
and linguistic planning of such community, based on the theoretical
assumptions of Calvet (1997). This PhD thesis discusses the issues inherent to
the context of linguistic expansion of Portuguese internationally, especially
its Brazilian variety. From a sociolinguistic, educational,cultural, economic
and geopolitical approach, this study assesses the participation of Brazil in
the CPLP and in the language diffusion process. Consequently, specific
strategies are presented, such as the restructuring of language teaching in
Brazil and the joint CPLP policies aiming to project the future of Portuguese
in time and on the international scene. The purpose of this study is to
provide a critical route that favors the dissemination of the Portuguese
language in the world, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages in the
attempt to diffuse it from the perspective of a specific country, Brazil,
which, as well as the other member countries of the CPLP, is still in a phase
of socioeconomic development. Except Portugal that belongs to the European
Union and is granted more economic resources to promote its language and
culture, moreover its development indexes do not compare to those of the other
CPLP members. In conclusion, designing the expansion of the Portuguese
language, and of those cultural identities coexisting within this language, is
a task that requires a language policy and a set linguistic planning among all
member countries of the CPLP, in order for Portuguese to occupy its rightful
place in the world and in the global economy. By conducting this study, the
author could demonstrate that much is expected from Brazil to promote the
Portuguese language. Likewise, the present study confirmed the hypothesis that
Brazil has to solve its own domestic policies first, resulting in a delay of
linguistic expansion of Portuguese by the CPLP. Moreover, the expectations of
the other CPLP member countries do not match with the reality of Brazilian
foreign policy, as too dependent on the promise that Brazil is one of the new
global economic powers. Hence, the present work is a study that discusses the
abovementioned issues in order to contribute to the visibility of Portuguese
in the world, and consequently offer a socioeconomic improvement to the
speakers of the language. After all, many among the market possibilities are
generated by and in Portuguese.
