Contribuições para a linguística brasileira: uma homenagem a Dinah Callou

Abstract

The book is a collection dedicated to Dinah Callou, professor and researcher honored at the VI International Congress of Dialectology and Sociolinguistics. The selected texts were written by former advisees and/or colleagues of Dinah and deal with topics dear to her. In addition to greetings, the work has chapters that deal with Dialectology and Sociolinguistics, centered on phonetic-phonological and morphosyntactic phenomena, some resuming Dinah’s academic trajectory. In addition, the issue of teaching Portuguese is addressed, which must respect linguistic diversity, and the consideration of social history in the description and analysis of Brazilian Portuguese. It is a work in recognition of Dinah Callou's contributions to Brazilian linguistics in order to arouse interest in the studies of variation and change, many of which had the honored as one of the pioneers.
