This volume uses 6 studies which chronicle linguistic work in Brazil from the second half of the 20th century. By means of different and complementary routes, it presents the decisive moments in language research from the moment when Brazil thought, focusing on generating knowledge about the Portuguese language, established contact with Europe.

In the Dictionary, argumentation is presented simultaneously as a linguistic, social and critical activity, used both to explore and to justify issues arising in ordinary life, as well as theoretical and practical issues within specialised fields.
