This book aims at deconstructing and problematizing linguistic
ideologies related to Portuguese in late modernity and questioning
the theoretical presuppositions which have led us to call
Portuguese 'a language.' Such an endeavor is crucial when we know
that Portuguese is a language which is increasingly
internationalized, used as the official language in four continents
(in ten countries) and which has come to play a relevant role in
the so-called linguistic market on the basis of the geopolitical
transformations in a multipolar world. The book covers a wide range
of social, political and historical contexts in which 'Portuguese'
is used (in Brazil, Canada, East-Timor, England, Portugal,
Mozambique and Uruguay), and considers diverse linguistic
practices. Through this critique, contributors chart new directions
for research on language ideologies and language practices
(including research related to Portuguese and to other 'languages')
and consider ways of developing new conceptual compasses that are
better attuned to the sociolinguistic realities of the late modern
era, in which people, texts and languages are increasingly in
movement through national borders and those of digital networks of
communication.
