All rights reserved.The article aims to discuss the concept of revolution in the history of linguistics from the study of the rhetoric used by linguists within certain research communities. One proposes an interpretation (from a socio-rhetoric framework of analysis in Linguistic Historiography) of two moments in the history of the Brazilian linguistics (as an analytical example to support a meta-historiographic reflection), in which linguists advocated a revolutionary rupture in the science of language. One bases the analysis on: (1) the review by Miriam Lemne in 1967, a milestone in the Brazilian reception of the Generative Grammar, (2) the manifest of the Construction Grammar in 1973. One assumes that an analysis of the discursive position of scientists helps to reveal the human component in the scientific practice, which is often denied, but is present in the intellectual and institutional arguments typical of the scientific thought.
