Verb and Context
This volume approaches the interaction of evidentiality with some other related categories, such as modality and mirativity, from an innovative angle: its connection to informational configuration. The aim of this book is to analyze the impact of shared knowledge on TAME categories as well as to explore its reflection on different verb choices. It provides an innovative theoretical view as well as a robust typological, crosslinguistic perspective.

Mulheres, Linguagem e Poder
Este livro é uma contribuição da Linguística, de forma geral, e da Sociolinguística, de forma específica, para o debate acadêmico e político sobre a relação entre a construção de identidades de gênero e usos linguísticos, com foco no "feminino". A obra propõe uma ampla revisão teórica e reflexiva sobre o tema a partir do enfoque da Sociolinguística variacionista, e apresenta uma série de estudos contemporâneos que exploram a relação entre usos linguísticos e gênero. Tais pesquisas ora problematizam estereótipos sobre o papel das mulheres nos processos de variação e mudança, ora propõem novos olhares teóricos e metodológicos para se explicar a relação entre as mulheres e as línguas.

The Anthropology of Disasters in Latin America
This book offers anthropological insights into disasters in Latin America. It fills a gap in the literature by bringing together national and regional perspectives in the study of disasters. The book essentially explores the emergence and development of anthropological studies of disasters. It adopts a methodological approach based on ethnography, participant observation, and field research to assess the social and historical constructions of disasters and how these are perceived by people of a certain region. This regional perspective helps assess long-term dynamics, regional capacities, and regional-global interactions on disaster sites. With chapters written by prominent Latin American anthropologists, this book also considers the role of the state and other nongovernmental organizations in managing disasters and the specific conditions of each country, relative to a greater or lesser incidence of disastrous events. Globalizing the existing literature on disasters with a focus on Latin America, this book offers multidisciplinary insights that will be of interest to academics and students of geography, anthropology, sociology, and political science.
Estudos de Linguística Histórica
Nesta obra reúne-se um conjunto de trabalhos que, diversos entre si, se agregam sob um mesmo tema e domínio de análise: a linguística histórica e os processos de mudança e de estandardização. No volume conjugam-se dois tipos de contributo, dando conta de linhas de pesquisa e de projetos de investigação desenvolvidos em diferentes partes do mundo. Alguns textos assentam essencialmente em trabalho reflexivo, orientando-se para as questões teóricas e metodológicas que, na atualidade, se equacionam no âmbito dos estudos linguísticos e, particularmente, no âmbito da linguística histórica. Outros trabalhos têm como objetivo o estudo da mudança de estruturas e de usos linguíst...
Rebuilding Sustainable Communities with Vulnerable Populations after the Cameras Have Gone
This volume focuses on the status of the elderly and the disabled after disasters globally as well as the challenges of post-earthquake rebuilding in Haiti. The International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies has estimated that between 1987 and 2007, about 26 million older people were affected each year by natural disasters alone and that this figure could more than double by 2050 due to the rapidly changing demographics of ageing. People with disabilities (physical, medical, sensory or cognitive) are equally at risk of utter neglect during and after disasters. The Australian Agency for International Development estimates that 650 million people across the world have a d...
