This manual is the first comprehensive account of Brazilian
Portuguese linguistics written in English, offering not only
linguists but also historians and social scientists new insights
gained from the intensive research carried out over the last
decades on the linguistic reality of this vast territory. In the 20
overview chapters, internationally renowned experts give detailed
yet concise information on a wide range of language-internal as
well as external synchronic and diachronic topics. Most of this
information is the fruit of large-scale language documentation and
description projects, such as the project on the linguistic norm of
educated speakers (NURC), the project "Grammar of spoken
Portuguese", and the project "Towards a History of Brazilian
Portuguese" (PHPB), among others. Further chapters of high
contemporary interest and relevance include the study of linguistic
policies and psycholinguistics. The manual offers theoretical
insights of general interest, not least since many chapters present
the linguistic data in the light of a combination of formal,
functional, generative and sociolinguistic approaches. This rather
unique feature of the volume is achieved by the double authorship
of some of the relevant chapters, thus bringing together and
synthesizing different perspectives.
