Resumo: Sociometry, the study of rankings and hierarchies between languages, is discussed critically in this paper from two problems involving the Portuguese language. The first refers to the defense of lusophony in face of other languages, in an attempt to maintain a linguistic unity among Portuguese-speaking countries. The second refers to the existing asymmetry of the the Portuguese language variations, which are sometimes intentionally ignored. Since it is a polemic issue, the sociometric surveys show wide divergence as well as criteria for measuring how much the authors’ intentions that motivate and direct these studies. Thus, they feed a competition that has no linguistic basis; however, it suits the political, social, ideological and economic States - while erasing the affirmation of diversity and heterogeneity. The fragile idea of lusophony appears in this troubled context.

O primeiro refere-se à defesa da lusofonia frente às demais línguas e fonias, numa tentativa de manter uma unidade linguística entre os países de língua oficial portuguesa. O segundo alude-se à assimetria existente, mas por vezes intencionalmente ignorada entre as variedades do português. Como tema polêmico, as pesquisas sociométricas apresentam grande divergência tanto quanto de critérios de medição quanto de intenções dos autores que motivam e direcionam esses estudos. Desse modo, elas alimentam uma competição que não encontra fundamentos linguísticos, mas que atende muito bem aos interesses políticos, sociais, ideológicos e econômicos dos Estados ao mesmo tempo em que apaga a afirmação da diversidade e da heterogeneidade. É neste contexto em que se insere a ainda frágil ideia de lusofonia.Universidade Federal Fluminense2012-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/3303310.22409/gragoata.2012n32a33033Gragoatá; Vol. 17 No. 32 (2012): Language PoliciesGragoatá; v. 17 n. 32 (2012): Políticas linguísticas2358-41141413-907310.22409/gragoata.v17i32reponame:Gragoatáinstname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/33033/19020Copyright (c) 2019 Gragoatáinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRoncarati, CláudiaSilva, Diego Barbosa daPonso, Letícia Cao2019-08-23T10:57:23Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/33033Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoataPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/oai||revistagragoata@gmail.com2358-41141413-9073opendoar:2019-08-23T10:57:23Gragoatá - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false
