Este texto exemplifica como os periodos e contextos da historia do conhecimento cientifico podem ser examinados pela perspectiva da Historiografia da Linguistica. Seu objetivo e demonstrar que o historiografo, ao lidar com qualquer tema dessa area, deve fornecer uma verdadeira teia explicativa dos fatos. O tema abordado e o da reivindicacao de autonomia para o portugues do Brasil em dicionarios produzidos durante a segunda metade do seculo XIX. Propomos que aspectos referentes aos metodos empregados nessas descricoes do lexico brasileiro teriam dificultado a aceitacao da reivindicacao no periodo, embora o contexto fosse altamente favoravel para sustenta-la. Abstract This paper exemplifies how periods and contexts into the history of scientific knowledge can be examined through the perspective of Linguistic Historiography. Its aim is demonstrate that an explanatory web of facts must be provided by the historiographer when he works with any issue in that area. The issue in focus is the claim of autonomy to Brazilian Portuguese in certain dictionaries that was produced in the second half of the 19th century. According to our hypothesis, some aspects related to the methods applied in those Brazilian lexis descriptions would make the acceptance of that claim difficult in the period, although the context was auspicious to support it.
