Bøger om Brasiliansk-portugisisk

SØGER MAN AT få bekræftet det mytologiske billede af Clarice som en smuk, kølig og lukket forfatter, går man forgæves her. I brevene overrumpler hun os med sin ømhed, sine blotlagte svagheder, sin menneskelighed. Og selvom man mærker en modvilje mod at blive læst biografisk, åbner forfatteren også for sit forhold til sine værker og sit arbejde med skriften og giver os nye blikke på litteraturen, både andres og den hun selv skabte. Men også moderskabet, venskabet, familien, forfatterpligter, oversættelsesgenvordigheder og meget andet diskuteres af denne brevskriver, der gennem hele sit voksenliv synes både at plages af og insistere på særligt én ting: sin ret til at tvivle.

This action-packed thrilling adventure story, based on the author's own experiences, is triggered by a gang of arsonists setting fire to the Amazon rainforest while blackmailing governments to stop them doing so. This results in the Major, a ruthless mercenary, being employed by Bob, a multibillionaire, to help him tackle climate change head on. But the task almost ends in disaster when his aircraft is brought down into the blazing forest by an arsonist's drone. While Bob, who has made a few 'bob' selling the world uranium through his company Nuklin, tries to encourage countries to scrap all fossil fuelled power stations in exchange for a new type of small, modular reactor being developed by Rolls Royce, his mercenary, after raiding the arsonists with his beautiful Brazilian girlfriend, is accused of double homicide and thrown into a local gaol to face the gallows. Due to a feat of engineering, an aerial planting machine named a SPOD is developed in Rio to seed the Australian Outback with carbon eating plants. But having escaped death twice, getting it there without being seen is only the third of the Major's problems, which culminate when Ud, the Indonesian firebrand behind the arsonists, is persuaded by the mercenary, who finding his island lair is about to have his throat cut, to carry out a last ditch attempt to save the world from catastrophe - ending in victory.

Lors de la « mise en mots » du Crémant de Bourgogne, comment les discours des consommateurs s¿articulent-ils avec ceux des experts ? Cette étude cherche à comprendre ces différentes constructions discursives, ainsi que les choix terminologiques qui y sont associés, en présence ou en l¿absence de stimulus. Une étude complémentaire vient enrichir ces travaux avec une analyse qui se concentre sur les espumantes brésiliens. En effet, ce produit est en grande partie comparable au Crémant de Bourgogne, bien qüinscrit dans une langue-culture où la consommation de vin n¿est pas ancrée culturellement, mais où la production et la commercialisation de vins effervescents sont en plein essor.

Research on left periphery phenomena has increased in the last 20 years, resulting in consistent studies from a wide range of languages and a fruitful debate on the functional projections within the CP system. Throughout these years, important contributions have been made on Brazilian Portuguese, especially on wh-interrogative sentences, focalization, topicalization and relative clauses. As for exclamative and imperative sentences, however, there is a considerable research gap in all grammatical levels. Regarding interrogatives, semantic and prosodic studies are still lacking (as well as research on the acquisition and processing of these constructions). This collected volume fills some of those gaps, gathering studies on wh-exclamatives, imperatives and wh-questions in Brazilian Portuguese which approach syntactical, semantical and prosodic aspects of these constructions through a rich and unregistered set of data. They also deliver novel acquisition and diachronic data that will further both the comprehension of Brazilian Portuguese grammar and the ongoing discussions on left periphery phenomena.

The Polish language was brought to Brazil by Polish-speaking peasants who came to the New World in the late 19th and early 20th century. Since then, the language has been developing in relative isolation from the European Polish context.In this monograph, the author focuses on a dialect of Polish still spoken in a remote community in the south of Brazil. The dialect¿s origins, history, and present character are investigated to portray the language as a result of a multilingual process with a specific starting point. On the basis of the original data recorded in the community, the author establishes a viable baseline for future in-depth studies of linguistic phenomena. She pays special attention to the distinct identity of the speakers, which mirrors the dialect¿s distinct character.

This volume, Volume 1, presents Marggrafe's stunning biography. Volume 2 consists of a text edition of his astronomical legacy, prepared for the printing press in the 1650s, but only now finalized and published. Georg Marggrafe (1610-1643) is today hailed as the principal author of an influential account of the natural history of Northern Brazil and as compiler of the first accurate map of the area, which is considered as one of the most elegant products of seventeenth-century Dutch cartography. But initial he had the ambition to become known in astronomy. With the support Johan Maurits van Nassau-Siegen, then governor-general of colonial Dutch Brazil, he built in Recife the first European-style astronomical observatory on the South-American continent, where he systematically charted the southern stars. He intended to supplement the famous astronomer Tycho Brahe, who charted the Northern sky half a century before. But Marggrafe's untimely death (and the negligence of a Leiden professor) prevented the publication of his valuable observations. As a result, Marggrafe did not achieve fame in astronomy, but instead became famous for his equally remarkable other achievements.
