The present article is part of a special issue about the Working Group (GT) for Sociolinguistics of the Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Letras e Linguística (ANPOLL) throughout its 35 years of existence. We aim here to outline a profile of the researches done in the area of multi/plurilingualism and language contact that have been reported in the GT, trying to make a short theoretical explanation of basic points as well as a historical review of moments and themes of the field. The goal is to give visibility to the researches and the discussions on the mentioned issues (multi/plurilingualism and linguistic contact) and their related themes (variation, change, identity, language policies, etc.), which are currently gathered in the so-called Axis 2 (Eixo 2) of the WG, entitled Contato, Variação e Identidade (“Contact, Variation and Identity”). Thus, we intend to draw a historical profile of the Axis and contribute to the dissemination of the research in sociolinguistics conducted in graduate programs at Brazilian universities.
