Syntactic Context, Pounds, Name, VerbAbstract
Aiming to characterize name and verb in Libras, based on the Generative Theory and proposal of the articulatory structure of the sign (LESSA-DE-OLIVEIRA, 2012, 2019), we investigated these categories by hypothesizing that in Libras only names and verbs are marked syntactically. We analyzed experimental corpus using, for transcription and morphophonological observation, the Libras writing system SEL1. The results show that, in Libras, the signs in nominal or verbal positions are morphophonologically identical. We observed certain phonological variations between signals, which do not imply categorization, which we analyzed as arising from stylistic or pragmatic semantic aspects. We conclude that categorization in this language is not defined morphophonologically, but by syntax.
