O português no contexto multilíngue de Angola
Keywords:
multilingualism, languages in contact, portuguese, african languages, AngolaAbstract
Having Dialectology and Sociolinguistic’s theoretical and methodological suppositions as an initial framework, this paper intends to present some preliminary data concerning Angola’s linguistic diversity in a post-colonial context. Our aim is to delineate the complex linguistic relation between more then forty aboriginal languages - substrate languages - and portuguese national variety - superstrate, transcontinental and pluricentric language. Therefore, we wish to contribute to a diagnostic of the portuguese language expansion where it is adopted as an official language.
