The Eulália's language

Book Review by: anfibio    

Original Author: Carlos Eduardo Gomes Monteiro
This abstract was translated from A Língua de Eulália
Resume:
The Eulália''s language
(
Carlos Eduardo Gomes Monteiro )
Everything on this book surprising
a lot of people that just saw on Portuguese
one form of speak, the standard form, academic form.
We see that all mistakes of
Portuguese on it always it saw with prejudice, mainly by some grammatics. The
teacher Irene, main character of book, received on her house on her vacation of
July, her niece and two friends of college. The girls thought was funny the
mode of speak Eulália, Irene''s friend, that use words like: "olde, worke,
sponn, streess, glob..."
Irene starts show to girls the each
culture has it own way to speak, modes inherit of ancestor, or difficult on
language to pronounce some words.
Some words
considering wrongs by many grammatics originary on some languages, as the Latin
and on case of northeast region of Brazil the influence of French and Dutch
colonization that have tried one in past centuries.
The
prejudice said on this book, example: racial, religious, sexual and etc... Also
are connected to speak uses.
The
Brazilians people not valorize them roots, them culture, just valorize what get
on first world.
Bit-to-bit
to advance on read this book, we thought pathetic until now just see the right
form and faultless to speak the SP (Standard Portuguese), that uses by
academics.
But we
discovered that until on countries of First world as EUA, the blacks have
a mode to speak different of whites, then get in the prejudice; They are black
so they speak wrong.
What is
sure on this book is, there no exists a right way or wrong way to speak, but,
languages inherits became of others countries and others idioms, already
considerate dead as the Latin.
On Brazil who not
speaks academic form is considerate "without culture". But, fortunely
some intellectual writers of languages, are fighting to free the people of this
linguistics prejudice, and we want believe that the learn of Portuguese
language, on soon future, be a respect form that the Brazil as all, considerate the each
form speak of each state, region, village...
