Barranquenho: urgency of a linguistic policy?
Abstract
In the 21st century, Barranquenho faces the threat of globalization and consequent leveling with Portuguese. The reflection on the reality of Barranquenho is a decisive factor in the definition of directions of linguistic policy for this contact variety. However, any policy should involve the community of speakers, which implies in situ verification of the existence of a linguistic awareness and its trends. Topics covered in the community include questions of ascription, vitality, projection abroad, awareness of the variation in Barranquenho itself and motivation for the protection and development of this language.
