By Amaro Cavalcanti

Book Overview

The book ""The Brazilian Language And Its Agglutination"" was written by Amaro Cavalcanti and was first published in 1883. The book is a detailed study of the Portuguese language as it is spoken in Brazil, with a particular focus on its unique agglutination. Agglutination refers to the process of adding multiple suffixes to a word to create new meanings, which is a common feature of many indigenous languages in Brazil. Cavalcanti explores the history of the Portuguese language in Brazil, tracing its evolution from the colonial period to the present day. He also examines the linguistic influences of the indigenous languages and African languages on Portuguese in Brazil, which have contributed to the development of its agglutination. The book provides numerous examples of agglutination in Brazilian Portuguese, along with detailed explanations of their meanings and origins. Cavalcanti also discusses the challenges of translating agglutinated words into other languages, and the importance of understanding the cultural context in which they are used. Overall, ""The Brazilian Language And Its Agglutination"" is a valuable resource for linguists, historians, and anyone interested in the Portuguese language and Brazilian culture. It offers a fascinating insight into the unique linguistic features of Brazilian Portuguese, and the cultural and historical factors that have shaped it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
