In this paper, I intend to return to a refl ection on the importance of knowledge about linguistic variation and change in the training of native language teachers, assuming that scientifi c knowledge is a presupposition of pedagogical-didactic practice. From this perspective, I will underline the informative and formative relevance of knowledge about language variation and change in order to achieve goals and accomplish objectives related to the teaching of language variation and its origin and evolution. Understanding the phenomena of variation and change allows awareness of the fl ow of language over time and contributes to the understanding that the variation of a language is an intrinsic and consubstantial dimension of its functioning and its historicity. Synchrony traces of the past are the result of a different linguistic and referential confi guration, transversally at all levels of analysis: in phonics, morphology, lexicon, but also in sequential connectivity and syntactic order. In addition, the inseparability between the text and its context must be considered: the meaning of the old text depends on contextual referents that have changed substantially and it is necessary to be aware of this change. From the analysis of phenomena in the history of Portuguese, I will attempt to demonstrate the inseparability between the informative and formative dimensions of refl ection on linguistic variation and change.
