Abstract

This essay focuses on Mário de Andrade’s thought on language issues, with a special attention to his fragmentary Gramatiquinha da Fala Brasileira. In a second phase, the essay deals with the way radio demands a kind of language that presupposes forms of linguistic and social contract quite similar to the ones the author had been presenting since the outbreak of modernism in São Paulo.
