Description:Fátima Capela (MD017) presents the different rooms of her house and explains their details and functionality. After the visit there is a small talk between MD017, her husband (MD018) and MD016 about the lunch of that day, hot springs and holidays in general.
Priv.-Doz. Dr. Annette Endruschat is funded to specialize in documentary linguistics by documenting the language and culture of the town of Minde, in the centre of Portugal with a population of 3380. Minderico is only spoken in Minde and not in any of the adjacent villages. It has to be regarded as highly endangered, because the number of (active) speakers of Minderico has decreased considerably to only a few hundred in the last three decades. In the recent past Minderico has become more and more restricted to the use in informal situations and Portuguese has developed into the main language of communication throughout the Minde region. There are also a few passive speakers who are able to understand Minderico but who do not use it actively anymore. With this project, it is intended to emphasize that there are also unknown endangered languages in Europe and that the Iberian region is not as homogeneous as the language policy of Portugal would like us to believe. Moreover, this project expects to give an impulse to the documentation of the linguistic and cultural richness in the Romance world, an area widely neglected in Romance studies. That is why this project is based on an intensive cooperation between Romance linguistics and general linguistics and typology.
Place of Birth: Lisboa Occupation: civil engineer (in Vila Nova da Barquinha) Fátima married a Minderico (António Manuel Raposo Ferreira) and came to Minde for 9 years. She learnt Minderico as second language but speaks it almost fluently and is very committed to its revitalization.
Place of Birth: Torres Novas Occupation: housewife Celeste Moura was born in Torres Novas (a city 15 km away from Minde) but lived all her life in Minde. Her parents were not mindericos and did not speak the language fluently. She learnt it with the community. She is currently one of the speakers that uses Minderico fluently in every situation. She is fully committed to the preservation and revitalization of Minderico, for instance by collecting the oral traditions of Minde. She also helps actively in the Minderico classes.
Place of Birth: Minde Occupation: textile entrepreneur António Ferreira's knowledge of Minderico is very restricted. He is a kind of semi-active speaker. He spent several years in Canada and lost his competence in Minderico, because he did not use the language. He is married to Fátima Capela and speaks a mixture of Minderico and Portuguese with her. Written communication between António and Fátima (i.e. SMS, e-mails) is always in Minderico.
MD017 shows us her house. Small talk in the kitchen.
