Abstract

This paper aims to analyze, from the sociolinguistic point of view, the conception of national language that makes up the literary project of Brazilian Modernism. This analysis uses theoretical contributions particularly from Sociolinguistics: Monteiro (2000), Gnerre (1991), Bagno (1999), Tarallo (1994). Theoretical frameworks  from  literary  sociology  were  also  used,  especially  the  book  of Eduardo  Portella  (1971),  important  researcher  of  the  Brazilian  modernist literature. It could be observed that the concept of national literature built by Brazilian modernism rests on the idea of a national language designed in close relationship with the Brazilian orality.
