Abstract

This study is dedicated to the peculiarities of the language spoken by Ukrainian immigrants to Brazil, by tracing their regional origin, when they immigrated, and where they settled, as well as describing organized public life of the Ukrainian community in that country. The paper systematizes the data about the Ukrainian immigrants (at the beginning of the 20th century) and touches on the influence of the Brazilian environment on Ukrainian communities.The study, which is based on Ukrainian mass-media in Brazil, affords a detailed analysis of the language of these publications – its morphology, grammar and lexical base – and shows how the Ukrainian language spoken in Brazil at the time retained – trough its dialectal features – its complex and heterogeneous nature.
