VASCONCELOS (J. Leite de). DIALECTOS Interamnenses: IX - Linguagem Vulgar do Porto. Porto. 1891. - VASCONCELOS (J. Leite de) DIALECTOS Interamnenses: IX - Linguagem Vulgar do Porto . Contribuições para o Estudo da Dialectologia Portuguesa. Porto: Tipographia Occidental, 1891. 38 pp.; 240 mm. Ninth issue of the series ”Dialectos Interamnenses, ” initiated by José Leite de Vasconcelos, founder of Portuguese scientific dialectology, specifically dedicated to the study of the vernacular language spoken in the city of Porto. The series, which gathered various contributions on the popular speech of the region between the Douro and Minho rivers throughout the 1880s and 1890s, earned the recognition of highly prestigious foreign philologists, such as Rufino José Cuervo, who read it ”with the same interest and profit” as the author's other works. Unlike most contemporary dialectological studies, which focused primarily on rural speech, this issue examines the urban speech of Porto, an early and uncommon testament to a scientific interest specifically directed at the popular language of a large Portuguese city. A limited edition offprint, as is typical of these 19th-century philological pamphlets. Very rare. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
