Abstract

Two important grammars for two periods of great relevance for the Portuguese language, in Portugal and Brazil (João de Barros, 1540 and Antônio Álvares Pereira Coruja 1835). We seek to understand the extent to which these works impacted, in their time, the permanence and promotion of the Portuguese language in different periods and places.  This research delves into the prologue of each of the two grammars from the Portuguese linguistic past intertwined with the Brazilian linguistic past in the 16th and 19th centuries. It aims to understand the climate of opinion and the linguistic and pedagogical intentions ingrained in the prologues and aspects of teaching spelling. It is based on the Historiography of Linguistics and adheres to the theoretical and methodological principles of Koerner (2014) and Swiggers (1990), corroborated by Batista (2020), Bastos (2020). This research is also based on the linguistic, educational and cultural conceptions of the two centuries, seeking to outline the ideas about language and the proposals for its description and explanation given by Lusophone gramaticography in the pedalinguistic context of the 16th and 19th centuries.

Keywords: linguistic historiography; 16th and 19th century grammar; prologue, spelling.
