Book Description
Ruth Finnegan's Oral Literature in Africa was first published in 1970, and since then has been widely praised as one of the most important books in its field. Based on years of fieldwork, the study traces the history of storytelling across the continent of Africa. This revised edition makes Finnegan's ground-breaking research available to the next generation of scholars. It includes a new introduction, additional images and an updated bibliography, as well as its original chapters on poetry, prose, "drum language" and drama, and an overview of the social, linguistic and historical background of oral literature in Africa. This book is the first volume in the World Oral Literature Series, an ongoing collaboration between OBP and World Oral Literature Project. A free online archive of recordings and photographs that Finnegan made during her fieldwork in the late 1960s is hosted by the World Oral Literature Project (http: //www.oralliterature.org/collections/rfinnegan001.html) and can also be accessed from publisher's website.

Book Description
Le contact linguistique est le thème de ces Etudes afro-brésiliennes. Les six chapitres qui composent l'ouvrage discutent de propositions théoriques et épistémologiques qui permettent de mieux expliquer le contact des langues au Brésil. Ils traitent des conséquences du contact grammatical, tant au niveau syntaxique qu'au niveau phonologique, et examinent les effets du contact linguistique et culturel sur la sémantique et le lexique d'origine africaine dans le portugais parlé au Brésil. Les structures du portugais brésilien qui le distinguent du portugais européen peuvent être associées historiquement au contact massif de langues qui ont marqué les premiers siècles de l'histoire sociolinguistique du Brésil. Parmi ces structures, quelques-unes ont atteint un degré élevé de généralisation, touchant toutes les variétés de la langue parlée, y compris le portugais brésilien standard, tandis que d'autres sont restées cantonnées à ce qu'on appelle le portugais populaire brésilien, un ensemble de variétés qui incluent les parlers ruraux, depuis toujours plus réfractaires à l'influence de la norme urbaine. Cet ouvrage vise aussi à apporter une contribution supplémentaire à la mise en valeur de l'apport africain à la langue et à la culture brésiliennes et à susciter de nouvelles études sur les contacts de langues au Brésil.
