Socio-historical work in different genres

The table of professor-researchers Célia Lopes, Rosane Berlinck and Huda Santiago, entitled Sociolinguística histórica no brasil: caminhos e desafios, was presented online to Abralin on 07/18/2020. The conference focused on the challenges and proposals of working with historical Sociolinguistics. Each of the teachers presented their views on the theme, highlighting some aspects, such as working with the genres closest to the vernacular, their gains, in addition to philological and methodological work with corpora and data. From personal letters, through theater plays, and reaching the socio-historical and stylistic profiles of the writers, the lecturers show in practice not only how this work is, but also research results, with real data of use. In addition, they show how these studies contribute to a historical variationist study of Brazilian Portuguese.
