RESUMO

The Portuguese Language in Brazil - a linguistic homogeneization politics analyzes, taking as reference the Language Politics in Brazil, the specific theme of the inadequacy of the actions of language politics adopted in the country since its colonization until the present days. Although the implementation of a linguistic politics coherent with the national characteristics has yet not being occurred, political actions over languages are practiced since the country colonization. In each of the most significant historical moments for the country - Brazil Colony, Empire, Republic before the Constitution of 1988 and after it - were verified the maleficences and benefits that the language politics in force at the time brings to all the languages in the context. From a bibliographical research and from de raising of official documents, it is done a critical retrospection of the actions of language politics in Brazil. Actions, in general, inadequate that are responsible for the national language current status of Portuguese in Brazil. Those actions originated, yet, consequences not only for the Brazil social-cultural patrimony but also for its economy. Those consequences, for the most part, can be reverted with the application of a language politics that embrace all linguistics facets of the country. Nevertheless, for being reach this application, changes are necessary in the country educational structure so that the mentality of a monolingual country could be extinct of Brazil.
