Resumo: | This study aims to analyse the participation of Jews in Papiamentu’s linguistic configuration, based on original research and on published literature (HENRIQUEZ, 1988, 1991; MARTINUS, 1996; JACOBS, 2012). The analysis of 18th century documents reveals that Sephardic Papiamentu, which is more similar to Portuguese, influenced the general variety. Prayers and epitaphs in Portuguese confirm that this was the language used by several Sephardic Jews as well. Additionally, Martinus (1996) and Jacobs (2012) present records that may point to a relationship among Senegambia/Upper Guinea, Amsterdam and Curacao through the slave trade conducted by the Jews. Thus, this study intends to show that the Jews had an important role in Curaçoan society, influencing the configuration of Papiamentu. In addition, we follow an approach similar to the one supported by Faraclas et al.

No contexto linguístico, preces e epitáfios em português confirmam que esta era a língua usada por vários judeus sefarditas em Curaçao. Por outro lado, a análise de documentos do século XVIII revela que o papiamentu sefardita influenciou a variedade geral. Henriquez (1988, 1991) descreveu o vocabulário característico do papiamentu falado pelos judeus sefarditas. Adicionalmente, Martinus (1996) e Jacobs (2012) apresentam registros que podem apontar uma relação tripartide entre a Senegâmbia/Alta Guiné, Amsterdam e Curaçao através do comércio de escravos conduzido pelos judeus. Desse modo, este estudo pretende mostrar que os judeus tiveram um papel importante na sociedade curaçauense e contribuíram para a configuração do papiamentu. Aqui seguimos uma abordagem similar àquela defendida por Faraclas et al. (2014): uma convergência de elementos deve ser considerada ao estudar a formação dos crioulos atlânticos, sobretudo a atuação de falantes de diferentes línguas.UNESP2019-04-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/alfa/article/view/1056010.1590/1981-5794-1904-1ALFA: Revista de Linguística; v. 63 n. 1 (2019)1981-5794reponame:Alfa (São José do Rio Preto.
