GLOSSARY HISTORY OF BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE

The project for the History of Brazilian Portuguese (PHPB), in celebration of its fifteen years of activity, intends to publish in 2012 a series of books with the previous studies on the Portuguese of Brazil. Among the projected volumes, the fourth one will be dedicated to the history of Brazilian Portuguese lexicon, made from data corpora collected and organized by the different regional teams of the Project. In this article, we present a brief review on similar lexicographical works, published in Brazil, on some ongoing projects of this nature; we also treat the objectives, the adopted methodology and the first steps towards achieving such a bold undertaking.
