Super Fun für Sprach-Nerds, Weird Fiction-Fans und alle, die gerne neue Sachen lernen: Diese Geschichte wird jeden Absatz 100 Jahre älter (& gruseliger), am Schluss sind wir um 1.000 sprachlich angelangt. Bis wann könnt Ihr verstehen, was da steht? Danach erklärt ein Sprachhistoriker die Veränderungen, die ihr da rückwärts mitgemacht habt.

Colonial writers used the term “Língua Geral” widely in Amazonia. Thomas Finbow shows they did not treat it as a distinct Mameluco dialect, nor as a creole born from a stable pidgin stage. The historical record tells a different story. #linguistics

A vertically oriented promotional card with a soft mint green background.
At the very top, in small uppercase letters, it reads: “NEW ARTICLE | CADERNOS DE LINGUÍSTICA,” separated by a thin horizontal line above.
Centered in large, dark gray text is the title:
“Sociophilological Account of the Formation and Evolution of the Term Língua Geral, with Emphasis on Amazonia.”
Below the title, aligned to the left, there is a small hollow circle followed by the author’s name in uppercase: “THOMAS FINBOW.”
Under his name, in lighter text, it says: “Universidade de São Paulo.”
In the bottom left corner, there is a small minimalist decorative graphic made of three short, dark lines radiating outward like a subtle burst.
The design is clean, spacious, and text focused, with no photographs or additional imagery. — A vertically oriented promotional card with a soft mint green background.
