Resumo
Current article discusses the linguistic policies in Brazil and problematizes explicit or
underlying notions of bilingualism in official documents. Different concepts of bilingualism over time are
analyzed from a bibliographic and documental study. Further, the types of bilingualism contemplated by
linguistic policies are investigated. The status of Portuguese, indigenous, foreign, sign and immigrant
languages in these documents is discussed, as well as the legal attitudes related to bilingualism in
communities of immigrants, indigenous, deaf and descendants of Negro slaves. An initial legal ambiguity
may be noted when essentially monolingual linguistic policies are prioritized. A mild progress has occurred
during the last few years, mainly, those related to the acknowledgement of indigenous communities as
bi/multilingual. In fact, Brazil’s plurilingual condition and its pluricultural characteristics have not been yet
acknowledged.
