OLIVEIRA, Fernando Rodrigues de  and  MOLINA, Márcia Antonia Guedes. The teaching of language in the Imperial Court: study of 'Grammatica analytica e explicativa da lingua portuguesa', by Ortiz and Pardal (1981). Acta Educ.

In order to contribute to the production of a history of Portuguese language teaching in Brazil and to understand the different aspects involved in the adoption and circulation of didactic devices for this teaching in the nineteenth century, this article focuses on the analysis of the book 'Grammatica analytica e explicativa da lingua Portuguesa', by José Ortiz and Candido Pardal. This book was officially adopted for use in primary schools in Rio de Janeiro between the 1870s and 1880s. Based on the contributions of the New Cultural History and the History of Linguistic Ideas, it was analyzed the textual configuration of this grammar, which is structured under the idea of grammar as the art of writing and speaking well, as the Greco-Latin model of philosophical and general basis. It was verified that the adoption of this grammar occurred with the total absence of pedagogical debate or methodological justifications that would explain the need to renew the materials that were in use. This makes it possible to interpret that its approval and consequent distribution was linked to political interests and the space of privilege and decision-making power occupied by one of its authors.

Keywords : Portuguese language teaching; grammar; José Ortiz; Candido Pardal; primary school.
