Using Portuguese: A Guide to Contemporary Usage
This page intentionally left blank
Using Portuguese
This is a guide to Portuguese usage for students who have already
acquired the basics of the language and wish to extend their knowledge.
It covers both the Brazilian and the European varieties of the language,
and differentiates clearly between them. The book gives detailed
explanations of grammatical structures and semantic fields and, unlike
conventional grammars, it pays special attention to those areas of
vocabulary and grammar which cause most difficulty for English
speakers. It also contains a special chapter for students who are familiar
with Spanish, highlighting key similarities and differences between the
two languages. Careful consideration is given throughout to questions
of style, register, and politeness which are essential to achieving an
appropriate level of formality or informality in writing and speech.
Clear, readable, and easy to consult via its index, this is an essential
reference for learners seeking access to the finer nuances of the
Portuguese language.
