Escamoteamentos socioculturais e sociolinguísticos: políticas colonizantes e efeitos híbridos

Abstract

The proposal that I formulate in this research article is a reflection about methods adopted in the same colonizing logic both in Brazil and in Macau. Throughout the text, I bring social characterization and the concept of hybrid-ity closer to what we consider to be watertight categories in the Science of Lan-guage. As a scientific attempt to incorporate human migration in the linguistic superdiversity context, we have highlighted some problems arising from ad-herence to labels generated over the 20th century in Linguistics and bring a more wider conception of language including identity traits in this discussion, since being hybrid can be an advantage in some moments and a losses in oth-ers. For this study, I will mobilize two specific cases: the mameluco (Indian and Portuguese → Euroamerican) and the Macanese (Chinese and Portuguese →Euroasian), children of the land and bicultural in essence. From them, we will discuss the hybrid effects resulting from the colonizing policy.
