A história serial como método para a história dos conhecimentos linguísticos

Abstract

Abstract: In this article, I propose the use of the serial history method to carry out studies of the history of linguistic knowledge, especially those of long duration. I briefly present the methodology of serial history, addressing its methodological requirements and the changes it has promoted in the history view. Then, I present a case study, in which I use this methodology in the history of linguistic knowledge, more specifically in the panoramic grammar history of Portuguese language produced in Brazil in the 19th century, briefly comparing the history that already had about this object through secondary sources and the details obtained through the serial history methodology.

Keywords: Serial history; history of linguistic knowledge; Brazilian grammar; XIX century.
