Abstract

This article focuses on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL), a document of the European linguistic policy that gets to Brazil in the beginning of the XXI century in an indirect way: in acronyms printed on textbook covers, produced in Spain, that over these years served in a quite hegemonic way the demand increases for the language, in the organization of course levels and international certification exams. The goal is to analyze the contradiction that arises with the spread of this document in Brazil. Interpreting the political, linguistic and cultural effects that this presence produced in one enunciation space and for another one (The European Un-ion), where the relationship among individuals, languages and history is necessarily a different one. This paper is written based on the theoretical approach of the Discourse Analysis, understanding the linguistic instruments in their material way: linguistic and historical discourses in which the political and the ideological take central stage.
