Previous research on Language Policy has been a growing target of discussion in the academic environment. In this context, I adopt belief and management dimensions from Spolsky model (2004; 2009, 2012) and the notion of policy devices from Shohamy´s (2006) perspective in order to analyse university students and professor´s discourse about linguistic diversity. The instruments used for data collection were exploratory study and participant observation for the researcher, interview with professors and survey with students. It is predominantly a qualitative research, whose main aim was to identify beliefs about linguistic diversity and possible discursive strategies of domination. The discourses revealed divisions about linguistic diversity and accent, although almost unanimously the participants answered that they have already suffered linguistic prejudice. However, the biggest contribution of this work was about the identification of discursive strategies of linguistic domination: the sarcasm, linguistic association to social condition of the region, and repetition.
