Abstract

The present work aims to contribute to the characterization of Brazilian grammar of the beginning of the 20th century. Our hypothesis is that the grammar, in this period, loses the centrality in the discussions about the Portuguese that it had until then and becomes a type of publication with a more school bias. In this new scenario, the more in-depth discussions, aimed at specialists, in pairs, seem to move to works of a monographic character, which are increasingly published. For this endeavor, we carried out a specific study using two grammars by Said Ali, Secundaria (1923) and Historica (1931). In theoretical-methodological terms, we use the assumptions present in Swiggers (2004).
Keywords: Linguistic historiography. Gramaticography. Said Ali. 20th century. Grammatical epistemology.
