The Urbanization of Rural Dialect Speakers: A Sociolinguistic Study in Brazil - Cambridge Studies in Linguistics
Stella Maris Bortoni-Ricardo
This book investigates, from a linguistic point of view, how rural migrants adjust to an urban environment. The focus of Dr Bortoni-Ricardo's study is speakers of Caipira, a dialect of Brazilian Portuguese. The volume examines in careful detail the historical and synchronic sociolinguistic background of the migrants and the changes that have taken place in their linguistic repertoire.
