This paper partially describes the results of a research on constructed-action (AC) in Libras, from spontaneous videos of the Deaf available on the internet, that is, videos of various content, made available by the signers themselves on their particular channels. It focuses on one of the components of embodied perspective representation, when the signer “incorporates” the referent, allowing the perception of facts portrayed from his perspective. In the light of Cognitive Linguistics, we seek to understand the relationship between language and thought in discursive use. AC is essential for the comprehension of utterances by the deaf, as it expresses a wealth of substantial details for the referent’s recognition. Quinto-Pozos (2007b) suggests that this feature is mandatory in sign languages.
