Fifth Cultural Post: Identify a topic for your culture project and your learning goals for your topic.
I would like to explore the topic of language development for my cultural project. Throughout my study of Portuguese I have noticed differences across the portuguese used in Portugal and Brazil. I would like to conduct some research regarding the different influences that led to these differences. I would also like to explore the different uses of words as well as the different levels of formality used by the two. My learning goals for this topic would be to gain a more holistic understanding of the underlying cultural differences that have influenced language development in the different continents. Lastly, I would like to learn more the motivations behind the Portuguese Orthographic Agreement of 1990. I am interested in the investigation regarding the implications to have a more/ less unified formal language system.
