The study of Portuguese in the graduate schools of this country has fallen off considerably since the last war.* This is bad from any point of view. Not only does Portuguese deserve study for the values inherent in the literatures of Portugal and Brazil, but for the teacher of Spanish it would appear to be almost indispensable. Portuguese offers an almost endless body of syntactical material akin to Spanish but just different enough to provide valuable comparisons. This paper will show that Portuguese resembles Old Spanish more than Modern Spanish in its syntactical uses, chiefly because Portuguese is still very flexible. PRONUNCIATION. The pronunciation of a Portuguese sentence gives an effect of fluidity, of vowel shadings and of nasal sounds quite different from the comparatively staccato clarity of Spanish well spoken. It will be seen that these factors have considerable influence on word order and sentence structure in
