This paper shows the treatment of the semantic phenomena homonymy and polysemy in textbooks of Portuguese as the first language. The studies on the history of Portuguese as school subject (SOARES, 2002) and on the concepts of homonymy and polysemy (PASCCHOALIN; SPADOTO, 2008; PERINI, 2005; PIETROFORTE; LOPES, 2005) were used as the basis of this research. From a qualitative analysis of the data found – concepts, examples and textbook exercises –, besides observing a substantial irregularity in the treatment of the homonymy and polysemy in the analyzed textbooks, it was also possible to see that the space reserved for semantic issues is still very limited, if compared to the space reserved to the formal aspects of language.Downloads
