Abstract

This piece of work has as an objective the comparative bibligraphy study with regard to two Portuguese language dictionaries that are more used: Aurélio and Houaiss. The bibliography of reference are source of the uprising from lexicon units and their semantics attributes. So, it permits to establish one “picture”of the language. From the anlysis ahead of the reference work bibliography that are part of this work, we can notice that the conception of the Portuguese language that each one establish. One language dictionary active involves the linguistic politics from each country, because of its normative function, besides being involved in discussions in the “lusofonia”in the world with the presence or not of the reference work of other countries with Portuguese language. It’s essencial that we discuss these reference work that are so trivial and go way without being noticed. So, in this piece of work, we discuss the relation between language\speech and language\literature to verify the kind of representative shown by Portuguese language that are in the dictionary. The comparative analysis goes from a quantitative study where was raised the kind of piece of work; publishing year used for checking; the countries represented and the Brazilian region. For our study, we based in lexicography theories from Biderman, Barbosa, Meschonnic, Reis and Dubois, among others that were useful for the analysis of the books. It’s possible to verify the source of world built by the language dictionaries and their function in the society.
