This paper deals with the biography of Dámaso Alonso (1898-1990) and, more specifically, with his contribution to Galician linguistics by the middle of the twentieth century. After having provided some biographical data and contextualized his work as a linguist within the field of Romance Philology, where his studies devoted to Galician had a prominent place, our main purpose has been to analyze the contents of a eight letters with Ramón Otero Pedrayo between 1943 and 1946. The examined correspondence shows the kind of linguistic data requested from the so-called “patriarch of the Galician language” but it also reveals his thoughts on the study of Galician, his working methods, and his relationship with Galicia.
Neste artigo lembramos a contribución á lingüística galega de Dámaso Alonso (1898-1990) nas décadas centrais do século XX. Tras anotar algúns datos biográficos sobre el e contextualizar os seus traballos de lingüista dentro da Romanística, nos cales ocupan un lugar destacado os dedicados ó galego, damos a coñecer oito cartas dirixidas a Ramón Otero Pedrayo entre 1943 e 1946. Nelas, Dámaso Alonso solicítalle ó daquela grande patriarca das letras galegas datos de tipo lingüístico; pero a correspondencia revela tamén as súas reflexións sobre o estudo do galego, o seu método de traballo e a súa relación con Galicia.
