Though dictionaires hold the appearance of lexical catalogues, theyare constituted as texts with their own rules for the production of meaning. As such,they take the value of a didactic discourse that under the appearance of neutrality,exert strong influence on society’s linguistic behaviors. In order to bring to lightthe non-neutrality (absence of neutrality) of the lexicographical discourse, theauthor undertakes an analysis of the entry woman in a set of dictionaires ofPortuguese language from a point of view that conceives this semantic microcosmas a place of tension between the individual and the collective.
