O CRIOULO NA POESIA CABOVERDIANA DA PRIMEIRA METADE DO SÉCULO XX

Abstract

THIS PAPER WISHES TO DEMONSTRATE THE USE OF THE CREOLES IN THE FIRST DECADES OF THE 20TH CENTURY. FOR THIS PURPOSE WE HAVE CHOSEN SOME PARADIGMATIC CASES OF THE CREOLES USE IN CAPE VERDE, NAMELY IN POETRY. THE FIRST POET WILL BE EUGÉNIO TAVARES AND THE SECOND WILL BE PEDRO CARDOSO. WE WILL ALSO SEE JOSÉ LOPES, BUT IN A VERY RAPID APPROACH. THESE WRITERS WERE THE PIONEERS IN DEFENDING CAPEVERDIAN CREOLE DURING THE FIRST DECADES OF THE 20TH CENTURY.
