    The history of language study illustrates widely divergent attitudes concerning the relationship between writing and speech. Written language was the medium of literature, and, thus, a source of standards of linguistic excellence. It was felt to provide language with permanence and authority. The rules of grammar were, accordingly, illustrated exclusively from written texts.

    The everyday spoken language, by contrast, was ignored or condemned as an object unworthy of study, demonstrating only lack of care and organization. It was said to have no rules, and speakers were left under the illusion that, in order to “speak properly”, it was necessary to follow the “correct” norms, as laid down in the recognized grammar books and manuals of written style.

    There was sporadic criticism of this viewpoint throughout the 19^th century, but it was not until the 20^th century that an alternative approach became widespread. This approach pointed out that speech is many thousands of years older than writing; that it develops naturally in children (whereas writing has to be artificially taught); and that writing systems are derivative — mostly based on sounds of speech.

  A história do estudo da linguagem ilustra atitudes amplamente divergentes a respeito da relação entre a escrita e a fala. A linguagem escrita era o meio da literatura e, portanto, uma fonte de padrões de excelência linguística. Sentiu-se que fornecia linguagem com permanência e autoridade. As regras gramaticais foram, portanto, ilustradas exclusivamente a partir de textos escritos.

    The everyday spoken language, by contrast, was ignored or condemned as an object unworthy of study, demonstrating only lack of care and organization. It was said to have no rules, and speakers were left under the illusion that, in order to “speak properly”, it was necessary to follow the “correct” norms, as laid down in the recognized grammar books and manuals of written style.

  A linguagem cotidiana falada, ao contrário, foi ignorada ou condenada como objeto indigno de estudo, demonstrando apenas falta de cuidado e organização. Dizia-se que não tinha regras, e os falantes ficavam com a ilusão de que, para “falar bem”, era necessário seguir as normas “corretas”, previstas nas consagradas gramáticas e manuais de escrita.

• Anárquica é o feminino de anárquico. O mesmo que: confusa, desordenada, desorganizada.
