Abstract

To evaluate the relationship between linguistic and historical studies, we consider, in this article, the idea that discourse composition constitutes a practice; therefore, it involves an actor   named “discourse subject”. He acquires his individual identity by means of the choices he makes at the moment he constructs his speech. We try to make visible, among the enunciative structures of Gabriel Soares de Sousa’s “Tratado do Brasil”, evidences of predominant European ideological values in the 16th century. The approximation between Linguistic and History studies can open good possibilities for both areas of humanistic knowledge.
