Mainly from the 90s especially with the project, created in 1997, Para a hist?ria do portugu?s brasileiro (PHPB), which has systemized, in national ambit, the programme related to the area of diachrony the historical studies retake forces and have gradually increased since then. Our work is set in the new scene of Brazilian historical linguistics and it is associated to two research programmes: i) the constitution of a diachronic corpus; ii) the diachrony of text and discourse. As regards the first programme, we made effort to constitute a diachronic corpus of official letters about Rio Grande do Norte, we called cartas oficiais norte-rio-grandenses, written in 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. The chosen for bureaucrat letters occurred for they represent a textual category very productive in historical contexts, mostly 18th and 19th centuries, in which the command of writing was the least and also because they bring, almost always explicitly, the information of where, when, for whom and from whom, as remembers Fonseca (2003). The rules for constituting the corpus were based, although not strictly, on the orientation from PHPB. In respect to the second programme, we set up on the ideas of coserian base came from the studies on discourse traditions (TD) (Koch, 1997; Kabatek, 2006) amongst which that the texts are shaped so as to follow their own tradition (Coseriu, 2007), and we turned to Diplomatics (Belloto, 2002) in order to do the characterization of this corpus by the application of concepts from Diplomatics and TD as well as by the presentation of the structures that form those official letters: their textual genres, a kind of TD, with their macrostructures; and some of their formulaic expressions (microstructures), another sort of TD. This stage of characterizing will pay attention, as far as possible, to the dynamic between tradition and innovation that happen in the actualization of those textual structures along the centuries. This work intends to contribute with the researches connected to Historical Linguistics in Rio Grande do Norte, more specifically the ones related to the constitution of diachronic corpora and to TD; and with the study of official documents, textual category about which there are almost no studies (cf. Silveira, 2007) / Os estudos diacr?nicos marcaram as primeiras d?cadas do s?culo XX na lingu?stica brasileira, passando por um per?odo de ostracismo ap?s a d?cada de 50. Principalmente a partir da d?cada de 90 com ?nfase na cria??o, em 1997, do projeto Para a hist?ria do portugu?s brasileiro (PHPB), que tem sistematizado, em ?mbito nacional, os planos de trabalho relacionados ? ?rea da diacronia os estudos hist?ricos da l?ngua retomam for?a e v?m aumentando paulatinamente desde ent?o. Nosso trabalho situa-se neste novo cen?rio da lingu?stica hist?rica brasileira e est? relacionado a dois programas de pesquisa: i) a organiza??o de um corpus diacr?nico e ii) a diacronia do texto e do discurso. No que respeita ao primeiro programa, empenhamo-nos na constitui??o de um corpus diacr?nico de cartas oficiais relacionadas ao Rio Grande do Norte, a que chamamos cartas oficiais norte-rio-grandenses, escritas nos s?culos XVIII, XIX e XX. A escolha por cartas burocr?ticas se deu por elas representarem uma categoria textual bastante produtiva em ambientes hist?ricos, principalmente dos s?culos XVIII e XIX, em que o dom?nio da escrita era m?nimo e tamb?m por trazerem, quase sempre explicitamente, informa??es do tipo onde, quando, para quem e por quem, conforme relembra Fonseca (2003). Os crit?rios para a constitui??o do corpus tomaram por base, embora n?o estritamente, as orienta??es do PHPB. Com rela??o ao segundo programa, partimos das ideias de base coseriana advindas dos estudos sobre as tradi??es discursivas (TD) (Koch, 1997; Kabatek, 2006), dentre as quais a de que os textos se configuram de modo a seguirem suas pr?prias tradi??es (Coseriu, 2007), e recorremos ? Diplom?tica (Belloto, 2002), a fim de proceder a uma caracteriza??o desse corpus pela aplica??o de conceitos tanto da Diplom?tica quanto das TD e por meio da apresenta??o das estruturas que conformam essas cartas: seus g?neros textuais, uma modalidade de TD, com suas macroestruturas; e algumas de suas express?es formulaicas (microestruturas), outra modalidade de TD. Essa etapa da caracteriza??o atentar?, sempre que poss?vel, para a din?mica entre conservadorismo e inova??o que se processa na atualiza??o dessas estruturas textuais ao largo dos s?culos. Este trabalho pretende contribuir com as investiga??es ligadas ? Lingu?stica Hist?rica no Rio Grande do Norte, de modo mais pontual as atinentes ? constitui??o de corpora diacr?nicos e ?s TD; e com o estudo dos documentos oficiais, categoria de g?neros textuais sobre a qual praticamente inexistem estudos (cf. Silveira, 2007)
