Missionaries were in the forefront of this encounter: in order to speak to potential converts, they needed to learn local languages. A great wealth of missionary grammars survives from the 16th century onwards. Some of these are precious records of the languages they document, and all of them witness their authors’ attempts to develop the methods of grammatical description with which they were familiar, to accommodate dramatically new linguistic features.This book is the first monograph covering the whole Portuguese grammatical tradition outside Portugal. Its aim is to provide an integrated description, analysis and evaluation of the missionary grammars which were written in Portuguese. Between them, these grammars covered a huge range of languages: in Asia, Tamil, four Indo-Aryan languages and Japanese; in Brazil, Kipeá and Tupinambá; in Africa and the African diaspora, Kimbundu and Sena (from the modern Angola and Mozambique respectively).Each text is placed in its historical context, and its linguistic context is analyzed, with particular attention to orthography, the parts of speech system, morphology and syntax. Whenever possible, pedagogical features of the grammars are discussed, together with their treatment of language variation and pragmatics, and the evidence they provide for the missionaries’ attitude towards the languages they studied. 05 Este trabajo constituye un valioso aporte al campo de la lingüística misionera, tanto con sus contribuciones a la metodología de análisis como al redescubrir antiguos documentos que arrojan luz sobre algunos aspectos lingüísticos y culturales en los complejos vínculos entre Occidente con el antiguo mundo oriental y el nuevo mundo americano. María Emilia Orden, Universidad Nacional de La Pampa, in Revista argentina de historiografia lingüística, IV, 2, 169-172, 2012 05 [...] an insightful and eye-opening study of an area of linguistics which will be somewhat ironically new to many readers. David D. Robertson, University of Victoria, on eLanguage, September 2012 05 [W]ithout doubt the most comprehensive study to date of a large body of missionary linguistic work. As such it will be of interest to any scholar seeking a better understanding of the content and organization of missionary grammars. [...] For researchers in the field of linguistic historiography, Zwartjes’ detailed study of the terminology used by missionary linguists is of great interest. [...] The fact that terms used by missionaries are often opaque to researchers studying the languages described in these grammars has been a major hindrance to their acceptance as sources of legitimate information. It is to be hoped that this book will be followed by others that not only take a broad view of the field but also examine in detail the vocabulary and conventions used in missionary linguistic work.
