Notícia de Torto: formas procedentes do latim ille

Abstract

This paper examines the forms that have their origines from ille in Notícia do Torto, one of the earliest texts written in Portuguese. In relation to the usage of article, we verify that the text doesn't exhibit remarkable divergences in relation to contemporary usage. About the pronominal forms, we point out the usage of accusative form to the plural subject and one example of nominative case without preposition as an object of the verb.
