Os sons da saudade: a partir de uma leitura d'Os Poetas Lusíadas

Abstract

There is a reasonable number of academic essays about the relationship between sound and meaning. This relation is obviously the epicenter of several studies about translation. Can we choose the right word (sound or/ and image) to the information we want to give? If we say something in other words, do we say the same thing? These questions are important for translators, of course, but also to writers, literary and philosophical researchers, all of those who work with Rhetoric, Marketing, Theatre, Philology, Psychology. We aim here to understand how language can be as "effective" as a poem reading Lusiad Poets, written by Teixeira de Pascoaes (1919). How do the sounds of nostalgia provoke a poetic expression?
