Considerations on the gesture of authorship in the Moderna Gramática Portuguesa (1961) by Evanildo Bechara

Abstract Based on the theoretical approach of Discourse Analysis - Pêcheux e Orlandi - in its relation with the History of Linguistic Ideas - Auroux e Orlandi -, this article has the objective of reflecting upon the production of the gesture of authorship in the first edition of the Moderna Gramática Portuguesa (1961), written by Evanildo Bechara. For this purpose, we will hold our analysis to the understanding of the effects produced in the grammarian's discourse by the presence of the term phonemic and to the apprehension of the process of distinction between this term and what was then phonetics and phonology.
