Sobras e sombras nobres e plebeias do século XVI

Abstract

Based on the book Ditos portugues dignos de memória (1997) – which deals with the oral tradition of the portuguese language of the 1500s ( with register of speech taken from daily language from nobility to the common man ) – this text highlights lexicon and expressions currently considered to be out of use in European Portuguese, but which are common in present-day Brazilian Portuguese.
