This volume offers an in-depth exploration of Portuguese linguistic and cultural complexity through a multidisciplinary lens, integrating historical, sociolinguistic, literary, and pedagogical perspectives. The introductory chapter provides a foundation for foreign students and researchers by tracing the evolution of Portuguese from its Latin origins and detailing its geographical expansion, emphasizing the language’s pluricentric character and distinct features. Subsequent chapters expand the scope by analyzing the survival of minority languages such as Mirandese, the intricacies of Portuguese Sign Language, and shifts in contemporary Portuguese fiction. The volume culminates with innovative methodological insights via podcast- based language teaching, demonstrating the intersection between tradition and technological innovation. Through critical synthesis of these diverse topics, the work highlights the interplay of language, identity, and communication, affirming the rich tapestry of cultural and linguistic diversity within Portuguese-speaking communities. This collection invites readers to engage critically with the challenges and opportunities that arise from historical roots, plural identities, and the contemporary demands of language instruction. Overall, the volume aims to foster nuanced understanding and scholarly engagement with the multifaceted nature of Portuguese language and culture in an increasingly interconnected world.
