This paper presents an analysis of the infl uence of theories and methods of the science of language of the second half of the twentieth century in Portuguese language textbooks for basic education. The analytical perspective is that of the historiography of linguistics, with emphasis on the concept of layers, which locates the texts in a social and historical context while analyzing their internal contents (what the authors present as teaching content). The material of analysis is composed of three textbooks produced for use in Brazil in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s. In this period, linguistics was the main guideline to defi ne the directions of language teaching materialized in the textbooks, understood in its pedagogical and social function.

This work aims to discuss multilingual issues involving teaching languages to the deaf in Brazilian schools. For this purpose, it proposes an analysis of a set of materials produced by the Brazilian Ministry of Education aimed at situating means through which to act, represent and identify the deaf, as well as practices of teaching Brazilian Sign Language and Portuguese to this social group, based on the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework. Investigating discursive practices on this issue is important, as it allows one to identify the changes in the maintenance/transformation of recognition issues regarding the deaf in the Brazilian context. This analysis illustrates a multiplicity of voices that work to establish controversy upon evoking different meanings and a power struggle regarding the preservation of rules that currently guide the processes of language teaching for the deaf in an inclusive perspective.
