O caso da coexistência do Ronga e Changana na Cidade de Maputo

Abstract

The cohabitation of speakers of the Ronga and Changana languages in Maputo City today is a reality that makes it impossible to analyze their linguistic uses separately in everyday social interactions. This coexistence sometimes leads to polemics about which language is more dominant among the city's residents. There is a feeling among Ronga speakers that Changana is gaining more public space to the detriment of their language. This work is structured in six chapters. The first introduces the subject. We base our analysis on the literature review in the second chapter. The third presents the methodology followed during the research. In the fourth chapter we look at linguistic cohabitation in Mozambique and then, in the fifth, we present and analyze the data. The work ends in the sixth chapter with conclusions and recommendations. (TRADUÇAO NOSSA)
