A manutenção da perspetiva clássica sobre a linguagem como empecilho para os estudos morfológicos
The maintenance of the classical perspective on language as an obstacle to the morphological studies

Summary/Abstract: We see, in linguistics, the predominance of Greco‑Latin tradition on language studies. The scientists, prisoners to the tradition, cannot see the language from other perspectives. Using two examples in the morphology of the attitude of the linguists (the distinction inflection/derivation and the word classes), we intend to characterize two processes in linguistic research that has prevented the development of morphological studies: the naturalization of grammar and its use as “protocol sentence”.
