Abstract

Discussions in the nineteenth century about the differences between the languages spoken in Brazil and Portugal led to two theoretical movements: on one side were the legitimists on the other separatists. Before imposing the concept of dialect, vernacular was the key argument in these discussions. Using the categories of representation and appropriation, this article then tries to analyze the argument uses the vernacular — especially in the Treaty of Vernacular Language (Grammar), of Brício Cardoso — such as mediation between two conflicting positions.
