Resumo
The purpose of this paper is to report and comment on a field work I have
been conducting among the Kalderash Gypsies of Aparecida de Goiânia
(GO) since 2009, emphasizing their natural and social environment
from an ecolinguistic perspective. This group comprises roughly 250
people, converted to Evangelic religion. They are semi-nomadic and
bilingual in Portuguese and Romanès, the local dialect of Romani, the
general language of Gypies worldwide. The spatial distribution of the
families in a single neighborhood facilitates a strong interaction among
themselves. This includes visits, taking part in festivities, church going
and so on. My thesis is that this spatial convivial favors the survival of
their ancestral language and their ways of life. It is this sharing of the
same natural environment that leads to at least a partial maintenance
of the mental and social environment because they are interdependent.
