Abstract
In this work, we propose to examine, in theoretical perspectiveof Semantics of the Event (2002, 2005), the relations between the senses of “savings”, “freedom”, “alforria” and “slave” in the socio-historical processes of its meaning, during the second half of the 19th century, as long as the way these senses are constituted in the relationship between the advertisement “Caixa 150 anos” and lusitanian and brazilian dictionaries in two moments: in the second half of the 19th century, by the time that the Caixa’s advertisement transports us, and the beginning of the 21st century, by the time the advertisement was created.
