Resumo: | Dr. Bodo Winter’s presentation discussed linguistic iconicity. First, he showed that iconicity can perform different functions in language and that it is present in different linguistic domains among which is the lexicon. As evidence of that, he presents research that shows the occurrence of iconicity in English vocabulary related to size, shape and roughness. At the end of his presentation and in light of the works on which it was based, Dr. Winter defines iconicity as a selective process (since only some aspects of meaning, not its entirety, can be depictively represented), that manifests a sense of resemblance (thus, interpretive), and that depends on the context in which it occurs to be recognized as such. He also claims that iconicity be considered one of the design features of languages and not, like Saussure (1916) and Hockett (1960), arbitrariness, which he considers to be epiphenomenal |

Primeiramente, ele mostrou que a iconicidade pode desempenhar diferentes funções na língua e que ela está presente em diferentes domínios linguísticos, entre eles o léxico. Como evidência disso, ele apresenta pesquisas que evidenciam a ocorrência de iconicidade no vocabulário relativo a tamanho, à forma e à aspereza do inglês. Ao final de sua apresentação e à luz dos trabalhos que a embasaram, o Prof. Bodo define a iconicidade como um processo seletivo (já que apenas alguns aspectos do significado podem ser representados depictivamente e não sua totalidade), que manifesta uma sensação de semelhança (portanto, interpretativo) e que depende do contexto em que ocorre para ser reconhecida. Ele ainda defende que a iconicidade seja considerada uma das características universais das línguas e não, como Saussure (1916) e Hockett (1960), a arbitrariedade, a qual considera epifenomenalAssociação Brasileira de Linguística2021-09-24info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://revista.abralin.org/index.php/abralin/article/view/186710.25189/rabralin.v20i2.1867Revista da ABRALIN; V. 20, N. 2 (2021); 1-10Revista da ABRALIN; V. 20, N. 2 (2021); 1-100102-715810.25189/rabralin.v20i2reponame:Revista da ABRALIN (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR)instacron:UFPRporhttps://revista.abralin.org/index.php/abralin/article/view/1867/2476https://revista.abralin.org/index.php/abralin/article/view/1867/2478Copyright (c) 2021 Daltro Roque Carvalho Silva-Júnior, André Nogueira Xavierinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva-Júnior, Daltro Roque Carvalho Xavier, André Nogueira2021-09-24T17:51:06Zoai:ojs.revista.ojs.abralin.org:article/1867Revistahttps://revista.abralin.org/index.php/abralinPUBhttps://revista.abralin.org/index.php/abralin/oairkofreitag@uol.com.br || ra@abralin.org2178-76031678-1805opendoar:2021-09-24T17:51:06Revista da ABRALIN (Online) - Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR)false |
