Abstract

This article aims to present a methodological experience, based on the interface between linguistic-philological studies and the Social History of Written Culture, based on the semi-diplomatic edition of the Livro de Razão do Campo Seco, a manuscript produced between 1794 and 1838 by three members of the Pinheiro Canguçu family (Antônio Pinheiro Pinto, Inocêncio José Pinheiro and Miguel Joaquim de Castro Mirante) in Bom Jesus dos Meiras, present-day Brumado. To this end, the context of formation and dissemination of Brazilian Portuguese is briefly characterized, highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary dialogue as a fruitful resource in the reconstitution of the history of the Portuguese language. The results obtained reveal a new look at the sources, with emphasis on the elaboration of the profile of the person who wrote and their position in the community, in addition to indicating a solution for the aspect of representativeness of the sources. In addition, it is possible to reinforce information about the schooling factor, essential knowledge for understanding the linguistic polarization in Brazil.
