Abstract

The development of philological studies provoked the claim for
primacy in time among European nations. Thus, the old
correspondence ‘one language, one nation’ came to secure its
value no longer in the past, but in the future, acquiring a new
meaning as European states will make the learning of an official
language mandatory to all citizens. This article tries to contribute
to a reflection about the slow process of constitution of vernacular
languages as national languages, investigating how national
education systems promoted the schooling of their administrative
and literary languages, endowing them with the necessary
elements for their configuration as school disciplines.
