[The emergency of information in middle portuguese (1344-1483)] Our starting point is the thesis of Hobart and Schiffman (2000), according to whom the introduction of writing in “societies devoid of system of graphic symbolization” (ZUMTHOR, 1993) induces the creation of reified mental objects that exist “apart of the flow of speech”, such as information. In this work, we verify if the hypothesis is confirmed in an environment of “mixed orality” as the “Middle Portuguese” (14th-15th centuries). We demonstrate that, in portuguese, the concept of information has emerged, in fact, as a lexical item of the “informative literature”, genre essentially written (historiography, legal) that, by its alleged autonomy, gained prestige in the court.
