Call for Papers:

According to the United Nations (UN), it is estimated that the number of
people who speak Portuguese should exceed 400 million by 2050. This is due to
the process of internationalization of the Portuguese language (PL), which was
intensified from its inclusion in the Critical Languages ​​of the United
States of America (USA) framework. As a result, Portuguese as an Additional
Language (PAL) now occupies a greater space in universities and companies in
the USA, given the federal incentive to improve higher education students in
PAL studies. Consequently, this process directly impacts the world economy,
given the exponentiality of the USA vis-à-vis it. At the International
Conference of Portuguese and Spanish Languages, held in 2019, the Constitutive
Declaration of the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP) reaffirms
the importance of PL as ''a privileged means of disseminating cultural
creation among the peoples who speak it and of international projection
cultural values, in an open and universalistic perspective ''. Due to the
growing demand of the language market, discussions about PAL in the academic
field have gained great notoriety in recent years. Currently, the research
produced in the areas of linguistics and translation make use of different
study configurations for the investigation of PAL and Lusophone cultures and,
thus, try to point out new theoretical paths. In order to promote and
disseminate research in this context, the Letras de Hoje journal (Qualis /
Capes B1), from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul
(PUCRS), invites researchers in the field of Linguistics and Translation to
participate in its thematic dossier entitled Portuguese as an Additional
Language: Linguistics and Translation. Contributions may reflect on the
following themes:
· Teaching Portuguese as an Additional Language (PAL): strategies and
challenges;
· PAL acquisition and learning;
· Analysis and preparation of proficiency tests in PAL;
· PAL translation and interpretation.
The texts must be unpublished, in Portuguese or English, and must be submitted
to the journal from 10.04.2020 to 20.05.2020, through the official website of
Letras de Hoje: http://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/index
