ALGUMAS CONSIDERAÇÕES SOBRE A DESIGNAÇÃO DA PALAVRA PRECONCEITO EM DICIONÁRIOS DO FINAL DO SÉCULO XX E INÍCIO DO SÉCULO XXI

Resumo

ABSTRACT: We bring the analysis of the designation of the word prejudice in very important dictionaries in century XX and XXI. This research is based on the theory of the Semântica do Acontecimento, that it considers the directions in the relation with the historical materialism and the politician. We select the analyses of the definitions of the Novo Aurélio Dicionário Século XXI and of the Moderno Dicionário Michaelis da lí­ngua portuguesa. We observe a movement of the directions that goes of the ethimologic to the social one, with a specialization of the directions of the prejudice in relation the groups.
