- Extended program
- The course aims to provide an overview of the history of Brazilian Portuguese, starting from its early formation from Galician-Portuguese. To this end, key historical periods will be discussed, along with representative texts and figures from Galician, European Portuguese, and Brazilian Portuguese. The objective is to understand how Brazilian Portuguese developed between the 16th and 18th centuries, prior to the arrival of the Portuguese royal family in Brazil. After this event, the direction of linguistic evolution changed, and external influences began to have a more noticeable impact. The course will analyze the influence of other languages on Brazilian Portuguese in the 19th century, as well as its lexicographic consolidation. It will then move into the 20th century, presenting the nationalization policies that influenced the language. The entire course will follow the proposed bibliography, accompanied by online content from the website of the Museum of the Portuguese Language, based in São Paulo.
