Abstract

We live in a globalized world, full of innovations in all spheres of society, thus challenging interdisciplinarity in the academic-scientific space. In this volume the linguistic variation of the Portuguese (4 chapters) and the palopian literature (6 chapters) are discussed, creating a harmonious dialogue. Thus, it is observed that the Portuguese language spoken in Africa gradually distances itself from the European variety and presents its own linguistic characteristics at the phonetic-phonological, syntactic, semantic, lexical and pragmatic levels. The 'palopian' literature acquires more and more its own identity, giving rise to a genuinely African literature with its own characteristics. This trend is proven through several studies that will be represented here.
