❑ TEXTO 1:
The Dictionary of American Regional English
Joan Houston Hall, a lexicographer, is concerned about the use of
regionalisms throughout the country. She works in one of America’s most
ambitious lexicographical projects, which culminates with the publication of a
dictionary by Harvard University Press, 50 years after the project was
inaugurated by Frederic G. Cassidy.
Mr. Cassidy, who died in 2000, did not make it to the end of the alphabet.
But to scholars and language lovers the work he set in motion is an invaluable
guide to the way Americans not only speak but also live. The dictionary includes
nearly 60,000 terms, many of them reflecting the country’s rural and agricultural
past. But among the pages and pages of names for wildflowers and farm
implements, DARE, as the dictionary is commonly known, includes enough
newer terms to suggest that the state of regional English isn’t quite as bad as
may suggest the laments about the homogenizing forces of urbanization, mass
media and the Internet.
Ms. Hall recognizes that the extremes of regional speech are disappearing;
however, she is pleased to find out that there are still lots of regional words. If it
has become harder to find many different terms for outdated expressions, that’s
partly because people today are more likely to be talking about fast food or
traffic. In fact, in the age of Twitter and Facebook, linguists say, the interactions
that most powerfully shape our speech are still local and face to face. In sum,
American English actually has more words for the same things than ever before.

Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon is a Brazilian modernist novel. It
was written by Jorge Amado in 1958 and it is widely considered one of
his finest works. The action of the novel begins in 1925 in the provincial
port of Ilhéus in Brazil's northeastern state of Bahia.
The book tells two separate but related tales: first, the romance
between Nacib Saad and Gabriela. Second, it describes the political
struggle between the old guard of Cacao growers and the forces of
modernization, in the person of Mundinho Falcão. It can be read
simultaneously as an unusual, charming love story, a description of the
political and social forces at work in 1920s Brazil, a somewhat satirical
depiction of Latin American aspirations to "modernity", and a
celebration of the local culture and pleasures of Bahia.

O Auto da Compadecida
O Auto da Compadecida is a 2000 Brazilian comedy film, directed by Guel
Arraes, with a screenplay by Arraes and Adriana Falcão. It is based on the 1955 play
of almost the same name by Ariano Suassuna.
The plot concerns the adventures of João Grilo (Matheus Natchergaele) and
Chicó (Selton Mello), the most cowardly of men. The lively João Grilo and the tricky
Chicó are poor guys who cheat a bunch of people in a small northeast Brazilian town.
But when they die, they have to be judged by Christ, the Devil and the Virgin Mary,
before they are admitted to paradise.
The film was a critical and commercial success in Brazil and in some South
American countries like Chile and Venezuela. It was not as well-received in Englishspeaking countries.

Churrasco: a typical food in the south of Brazil
Brazilian food is varied and interesting. As it happens with every country, the cuisine of Brazil
is strongly related to the history and culture of the country and varies from one region to
another, sometimes in such a way that visitors might feel like they are in different countries.
One of the most common foods in the southern region of Brazil is churrasco. A recipe of this
popular food follows below:
Recipe of Churrasco Gaúcho
Ingredients:
fine quality cuts of beef, lamb, veal, ribs, etc.
salt
mashed cloves of garlic
water
Preparation:
Set the fire and be sure the coals are bright before putting on the meat. Assemble meat cuts on
metallic skewers and set on the grill. Turn skewers frequently. When the meat begins to brown,
make a salty liquid dissolving the salt in the water with the garlic and baste the meat with it.
Hints:
Cuts with more fat are the best for charcoal grilling.
It takes about 1 hour above the fire.
Serving:
Cut slices from outside and serve. Keep meat warm on the grill while not serving. Always baste
the meat waiting on the grill with the salty liquid to keep it juicy and fresh.
