COELHO, Sónia  e  FONTES, Susana. Madureira Feijó and Soares Barbosa’s ortographic ideas. Diacrítica [online]. 2014, vol.28, n.1, pp.457-477. ISSN 0807-8967.

Linguists have always reflected about orthographic issues. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, many orthographies were published, among which is worth mentioning the Orthographia, ou Arte de Escrever, e Pronunciar com acerto a Lingua Portugueza (1734) of João de Morais Madureira Feijó, whose influence extended into the nineteenth century, when the Grammatica Philosophica da Lingua Portugueza (1822) of Jerónimo Soares Barbosa was published, presenting for the first time and formally a mixed spelling system. Therefore, taking into account the importance of the two works, in this article we intend to analyze and confront the orthographic proposals of these two authors, considering the definition of orthography presented, the proposed alphabet, the representation of nasality, as well as the diphthongs listed by the authors, specifying the nasal diphthong [?~w].

Palavras-chave : Orthographia, ou Arte de Escrever, e Pronunciar com acerto a Lingua Portugueza (1734); Grammatica Philosophica da Lingua Portugueza (1822); Orthography.
