摘要：We conducted a study of language in the discursive genre family letter analyzing phonic, semantic and pragmatic peculiarities from the time they were written, as well as the identity of those involved in the interaction (writer and recipient). For this article, we selected two letters written by bilingual speakers of German and Portuguese to be analyzed, based on a study concerning the spread of Germanic culture in Brazil, having in mind that these letters reveal many aspects of this process.
