Summary |
"Bases da ortografia portuguesa" by Gonçalves Viana and Abreu is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This book discusses the principles and reforms of Portuguese orthography, aiming to establish a uniform and scientifically grounded orthographic system for the Portuguese language. The authors present arguments in favor of revising the existing orthographic conventions to better reflect the language's linguistic heritage. The book outlines various general and specific principles related to Portuguese orthography, including guidelines on accents, consonant usage, syllabication, and the treatment of homonyms and paronyms. It also emphasizes the importance of creating a unified writing system that accurately represents the spoken language and acknowledges its historical development. By addressing common orthographic errors and advocating for scientific rigor in language representation, the authors aim to facilitate a clearer understanding and teaching of the Portuguese language while encouraging scholarly criticism and public discourse about these proposed reforms.
