Abstract(s)
Dada a sua importância para a área dos Estudos Regionais e Locais, o presente
trabalho teve como principal propósito uma análise da presença do topónimo “Fajã” na
Macaronésia. A intenção é saber se este topónimo é um património linguístico comum a
todos os territórios que podem ser englobados na designação de “Macaronésia” ou, apenas
a alguns territórios arquipelágicos desta área geográfica atlântica.
Este estudo tem por objetivo contribuir para um mais amplo esclarecimento do
conceito de “fajã”. Pretende maior divulgação, entendimento e sobretudo valorização,
tendo em conta a importância do topónimo. Revê a sua definição, a fim de se reconhecer
a sua riqueza em termos históricos e culturais.
O topónimo “Fajã” está presente nestes arquipélagos, desde há vários séculos. É
comum em todos os arquipélagos da Macaronésia. Está fortemente relacionado com a
prática agrícola, que foi imprescindível para a fixação e, obviamente a sobrevivência das
pessoas, em particular os primeiros povoadores destas ilhas. Isso observa-se pelo estudo
dos nomes atribuídos às fajãs, cuja análise comparativa se empreemde, a nível do
Património Linguístico.
Given its importance in the area of Regional and Local Studies, the main purpose of this work was to analyze the presence of the toponym “Fajã” in Macaronesia. The intention is to find out if this toponym is a linguistic heritage common to all territories that can be included in the designation of “Macaronesia” or, just to some archipelagic territories of this Atlantic geographical area. This study aims to contribute to a broader clarification of the concept of “fajã”. It seeks greater dissemination, understanding and, above all, appreciation, taking into account the importance of the toponym. It revises its definition in order to recognize its richness in historical and cultural terms. The toponym “Fajã” has been present in these archipelagos for several centuries. It is common in all Macaronesian archipelagos. It is strongly related to agricultural practice, which was essential for the settlement and, obviously, the survival of people, in particular the first settlers of these islands. This can be seen in the study of the names attributed to the fajãs, whose comparative analysis is undertaken at the level of Linguistic Heritage.
