4. John B. Jensen, N. Norma Casarin, and Gerald Curtis, Da Conversa à Cultura: O Português do Brasil, preliminary ed. (Miami: Florida International University, Department of Modern Languages, 1985). I was fortunate to be able to use it in Georgia.

6. A new edition was recently published. See Novo Aurélio, Dicionário da Língua Portuguesa (Rio de Janeiro: Editora Nova Fronteira, 1987).

7. The year 1964 is considered the landmark date because of the Indiana University Sociolinguistics Seminar, a natal event that I witnessed.
