Abstract
In this essay, we intend to reflect on Folk Linguistics as a research practice, in the field of language studies, which is part of the set of counter-hegemonic practices, specifically with regard to language sciences, currently practiced in the Brazilian context. The not numerous data analyzed are produced by folk linguists, that is, by people who, although not trained in the field of language, speak metalinguistically about the dictionary process of the term Pelé, understood as a discursive event and designated by us as “Pelé in the dictionary”. With less wandering, our discussion also goes through issues related to the decolonization of linguistic knowledge.
