ABSTRACT

Living on the frontier is to live in a discursive, cultural and identity insertion, characterized by specific features that make part of this place. One of the peculiarities is the presence of the Portuguese language and the Spanish language as something that constitutes the frontier everyday interactions. This meeting of languages​​, since the 50s, is the focus of several studies that research not only the nomenclature given to this particular linguistic meeting, but also the discussions about teacher education in the frontier region. Thus, this paper seeks to offer initial thoughts about these two lines of discussion based on dialogic discourse analysis.
