Resumo: This paper reflects on a statement once made by Guimarães Rosa regarding dictionaries: subverting the typical image of the dictionary as evidence of an objective system of representation, the author presents it, paradoxically, as at once lyrical anthology, novel and autobiography. This statement is taken here as a metonymy of a sophisticated and relevant metalinguistic thought, and the pertinence of placing it within a History of Linguistic Ideas is discussed.
