Abstract:

"The Portuguese Language Continuum in Africa and Brazil" is the first
publication in English to offer studies on a whole set of varieties of
Portuguese in Africa as well as Brazilian Portuguese. Authored by specialists
on varieties of Portuguese in Africa and Brazil, the eleven chapters and the
epilogue promote a dialogue between researchers interested in their genesis,
sociohistories and linguistic properties. Most chapters directly address the
idea of a "continuum of Portuguese" derived from parallel sociohistorical and
linguistic factors in Africa and Brazil, due to the colonial expansion of the
language to new multilingual settings. The volume contributes to the
understanding of structural properties that are often shared by several
varieties in this continuum, and describes the various situations and domains
of language use as well as sociocultural contexts where they have emerged and
where they are being used.
