This work aims to outline the historical route of Portuguese stress, through the analysis of three cmcial points in the language temporal continuum: LATIN, ARCHAIC PORTUGUESE, anel BRAzmAN PORTUGUESE. TIle emphasis is given to the description of the Archaic Portuguese stress attribution process, anel the corpus is constituteel by aU the "cantigas ele amigo· of the Cancioneiro da Biblioteca Nacional de Lisboa, composeel between the enel of the XIIth century anel the beginning of the XIVth century. The theoretical framework adopteel here comes from the conceptions of parametric change - following Lightfoat (1991) - anel af nanlinear phonology - specially Hayes' (1991) metrical theory anel Mohanan's (1986) lexical theory. The analysis shows that aU these three perioels of the language adopt the sarne rhythmic basic foot (the moraic trochee) - anel the sarne choice referring to the setting of aU other rhythmic parameters vaue. The only exception is the value of the extrametrical constituent parameter. We concluele that there is no change in the. stress mie from Latin to Brazilian Portuguese. The changes verified in the extrametrical constituent parameter value setting are, in fact, consequence of a major linguistic change, not in the formulation of the stress rule itself, but in the moelule of its application (from postlexical to lexical component), in the Grammar, and in its elomain of application.

This paper describes the functional situation of the first person singular subject pronoun (PPl), in Brazilian Portuguese, in colloquial and spontaneous discourse. I point out data obtained from informal conversations which indicate the major presence of PPl in orallanguage and I also analyse several linguistic factors which could be contributing to its use, even when it seems not to be necessary.

This article is a contribution to the study of the role played by pragmatic factors in negation in Brazilian Portuguese. It is shown that cultural factors, such as Leech's Politeness Maxims, play an important role in the use of negation by Brazilian Portuguese speakers and that these aspects must be taken into consideration in the teaching of Brazilian Portuguese as a foreign language.

This study deals with the Sândi phenomena as a mot!vated and a variable role. It focuses the relationship between the syntactic dimension and the morphophonological system Df the Portuguese language.
