In addition to other works designed to support the acquisition of modern foreign languages from the second half of the nineteenth century onwards, the so-called 'conversation grammars' and 'elementary grammars' of the Heidelberg Julius Groos Verlag occupy a central position in the teaching concept of this publishing house, which is still referred t...

Given that the underlying teaching concept by means of ‘conversation grammars’, ‘...

Based on our previous studies dedicated to the same subject matter, this paper pretends to study the historic vicissitudes that may permit an understanding why the AOLP (1990) must indeed be regarded as the necessary ending to the secular Luso-Brazilian disagreement on Portuguese spelling, menacing to become a constant plight for the common languag...

Based on a hitherto unknown copy of Manuel Alvares' (1526-1583) very significant Latin grammar Emmanvelis Alvari e Societate Iesv de institvtione grammatica libri tres (Lisbon, 1573), this paper presents the first edition of what the author himself (in a Spanish letter to his superior in Rome) once called 'arte pequena'. Additionally, the present p...
Since the beginning of the metalinguistic codification of the Portuguese language, the history of the Portuguese orthography was characterized by the permanent oscillation between two strands: the phonetic and etymological, leading the authors to divergent paths and consequently creating orthographic instability (cf. Kemmler 2001, Gonçalves 2003).

Additionally, we exploit the concept of ars mi...

The Regras da lingua portugueza, espelho da lingua latina (11721, 21725) by the Portuguese Theatine Jerónimo Contador de Argote (1676-1749) deserve special attention due to several reasons, not only
because they constitute the first grammar of the Portuguese language that was published in the eighteenth century but because it was the first of all t...

Unlike to what happens with other linguistic disciplines, it can be observed that the Portuguese ‘linguistic historiography’ (as a linguistic discipline devoted to metalinguistic works published in Portugal and its former colonies), independent but also somewhat dependent on other linguistic disciplines, does not seem to have a memory of its own hi...

In this project I wish to undertake a comprehensive research on the beginnings of MLLT in Portugal. In the first of the three pillars of the project, the key questions I wish to obtain answers to are the following:
- How and where were the modern foreign languages learned and taught from the 16th to 18th centuries?
- How did English, French and German come to be a part of the Portuguese Secondary School syllabi since 1836 (previously to the inclusion of other languages like Spanish in the late 20th century) and how did they eventually gain ground?
- How was MLLT affected by later policy changes?
- What was the role of grammars or textbooks in MLLT, with or without the statute of official textbooks?
- What methods were chosen for historic MLLT textbooks?
- In which way can these historic works for MLLT be of use for foreign language teaching in modern days?
The purpose of this work is to study three grammar books, produced in Portugal, in the 19th century by Jacob Bensabat, analyzing their parts and concepts, especially concerning pedagogical and teaching method ideas.
The Corpus is composed of three Portuguese grammar books that have a very important position in the scope of the Portuguese language grammatization history, particularly for renewing the theory and the examples or to introduce comments on the use of the Portuguese language. The analyzed Grammar books are: Grammatica Inglesa Theorica e Pratica: um curso completo de exercícios, o Inglês sem Mestre em 50 lições, o Francês sem Mestre em 50 lições, o Italiano sem Mestre.
I understand the study of Jacob Bensabat´s work as being part of cultural history that is why I intend to observe how they were elaborated, understood and written. In these grammars a comparison of definition, parts and examples will be made.
I will consider the concept of grammar, from its most broad sense, as a reference book to learn an L2: that is, of all types of grammars (epistemological, descriptive, normative, universal, general etc.) only those destined to ELT will be the main object of study in this thesis.
This project aims to analyze the evolution of grammatical and linguistic ideas in Portuguese grammars, since the first grammatical Portuguese treatise by Fernão de Oliveira (Lisbon 1536).
