※　新聞という言語空間――ブラジル各地から集めたジャーナリズムの言葉　※

本書は、ブラジル各地を巡る旅の中で新聞から集められた記事や投書を収めた読本です。編者E・P・スミスおよびP・H・スミス・ジュニアは、文語と日常口語との中間に位置するという点でジャーナリズムの言語に着目し、対話の引用に近いものから極めて学術的な調子のものまで、多様な文体のテクストを収録しています。署名記事の執筆者には他に著作を持つ者も多く、無署名記事や読者投書欄からの一般市民の手による文章も含まれており、投書には表題欄に「カルタ」の語が記されています。原文の句読点や字体、大文字表記などは原則として保持され、明白な誤植のみ黙って訂正し、それ以外の特徴的な言語表現は脚注で示すという編集方針がとられています。クジラの再来から英語という言語、モダとことば、ブラジル文学、都市の横顔、貧困と物乞い、恐怖の夜まで、多彩な話題を通じてブラジル社会の日常を映し出す一冊であり、巻末には理解度確認のための練習問題も付されています。書籍の言語：ポルトガル語　(SBC: 115650)

Description:
The material in this reader was gathered from newspapers during a trip to several regions of Brazil. We found the journalistic language interesting because it lies somewhere between literary language and everyday speech. Some of the selections in this book are quotations of conversation, while others are extremely scholarly in tone. Many of the authors of the signed articles have published other works, while other items either are anonymous or consist of letters to the editor from ordinary people. Letters to the editor are marked with the word Caria on the title line, where the author’s name appears for signed articles. The ‘titles’ of the letters are the headings given by the newspaper editors.

In general we have retained the punctuation, type faces, capitalization, etc., found in the original articles and letters. We have made an occasional silent emendation, usually when we found what we were absolutely certain was a typographical error. However, we have left a number of aberrant features, which may be of interest to the reader; these have generally been signaled in footnotes. Ellipsis points in all cases represent the newspaper’s deletion of material. - From Introduction
