Traços de mudança e de permanência em edetoriais de jornais pernambucanos

More about the book

This book deals with the Press in Brazil in its historical, social and cultural context, with particular attention being paid to the strategies of printed written communication. The author reconstructs the constellation of texts into which the discursive tradition of the editorial is integrated. The emphasis is placed on the description of the features of both linguistic and extra-linguistic change and continuity which characterise leading articles published in Brazilian Portuguese in the 19th century so that the relationship between the historicity of the language and the text is impressed on the reader.
