Term 2023Z:

A Língua Portuguesa é pluricontinental e policêntrica, falada por 260 milhões de pessoas. Projeta-se em quatro continentes do nosso planeta e realiza-se em múltiplas variedades linguísticas. Como língua pluricêntrica não tem uma norma-padrão, nem possui o seu “centro”, porque todas as variantes dispõem de igual valor. Pode-se dizer que é uma língua dos portugueses, brasileiros, angolanos, moçambicanos, cabo-verdianos, guineenses, são-tomenses, ou timorenses - sociedades que vivem nas realidades sociais, linguísticas e culturais bem distintas.
Tendo em conta estas características da Língua Portuguesa, o objetivo das aulas é evidenciar aos alunos uma certa unidade na grande diversidade linguística e cultural dos países de língua portuguesa. O programa propõe aos estudantes um vasto leque de temas que permitem compreender em que consiste o valor fundamental da Língua Portuguesa, quer dizer, o seu policentrismo (linguístico e cultural), assim como a sua enorme riqueza de variedades.

With three correct answers it is possible to draw an additional question to get an excellent mark (5!).
