This text aims to present a study of the most frequently occurring analytical categories in works of linguistic historiography (hereafter HL) through the observation of materials produced by researchers in the field. In this sense, through a study of materials such as theses and dissertations produced between 2005 and 2020, we seek to identify which categories are most frequently found in these materials and which conceptual terms are associated with them. The study included a corpus of 67 theses and 31 dissertations. The study was based on the theoretical-methodological assumptions of HL (or those relevant to it). Its aim was to promote a reflection, albeit an introductory one, on the resources that help the historiographer to organize and interpret the data of an investigation.
