<b>The <i>Diccionario pueril para uso dos meninos</i> (1784) of the Pernambucan Luís Álvares Pinto (1719-1789)
Abstract
The rare booklet Diccionario pueril para uso dos meninos, ou dos que principiaõ o A B C, e a soletrar dicções belongs to the considerable number of metalinguistic manuals that were published in the city of Pernambuco by the printer Francisco Luís Ameno (1713-1793).On its title page, the author identifies himself as ‘Luiz Alvares Pinto, born in the city of S. Antonio do Recife de Pernambuco’. Although there is a nineteenth century contestation of the authorship, there seems to be no doubt that the author is identical with the Pernambucan ‘Mulatto, musician, chapel-master and teacher’ who is known in his country of origin as Luís Alves Pinto (1719-1789).The Diccionario pueril is not actually an exact dictionary, it is instead, a school manual addressed to matters of correct pronunciation and spelling, promising an outlook on the ideas of a linguist with normative ideas that manifest conscience of the differences in the Portuguese language.
