In this study, we develop a reflection that aims to understand the constituent memory of discourse about language of / in Brazil in the early twentieth century, from the following works: A defesa da língua nacional (1920), by Laudelino Freire, and A língua do Brasil (1947), by Gladstone Chaves de Melo. Through these discursive materialities, we are interested in observing how the history and memory affect and determine how the language of / in Brazil is signified in different socio-historical and ideological circumstances. The theoretical support which this work is based on is linked to the perspective of the History of Linguistic Ideas, articulated to the theoretical and methodological assumptions of Discourse Analysis from Pecheux. ---   DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/gragoata.2017n42a880
