Resumo: | In the early days of studies with sign languages, researchers limited themselves to arguing about their structure, without considering the issue of gestures. However, currently gestures have gained strength in the studies of sign languages, through different theoretical perspectives. This study is part of that context and aims to critically reflect on Müller’s (2019) theoretical proposal on the relationship between gestures and signs in the context of sign language studies, both from a theoretical and an empirical point of view in the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras). Müller (2019) proposes a continuum composed of singular gestures, recurrent gestures, emblems and signs, and this proposal will be discussed through descriptive and interpretive analysis based on Libras data related to “the pear story”, created by Wallace Chafe (1980). The results point to the possibility of classifying manual actions that meet the criteria of conventionality, compositionality and form-meaning correspondence defined by the author, but also demonstrate the theoretical non-adherence to the realization of buoys and incorporation in Libras. Conclusively, we highlight the insufficiency of a lexicalist approach to explain linguistic phenomena that occur in the discursive field of sign languages and Libras, which this analysis is based on. |

Atualmente, entretanto, o estatuto da gestualidade nos estudos das línguas de sinais tem se tornado objeto de reflexão com a ascensão de diferentes perspectivas teóricas. Este trabalho situa-se nesse contexto e visa a refletir criticamente sobre a proposta teórica de Müller (2019) acerca da relação de gestos/sinais tanto no âmbito dos estudos de línguas orais quanto no das de sinais, explorando sua teoria empiricamente na Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras). Müller (2019) propõe um contínuo gestual composto por gestos singulares, gestos recorrentes, emblemas e sinais, e tal proposta é discutida por meio de uma metodologia descritiva e interpretativa baseada em dados em Libras da “história da pera” criada pelo linguista Wallace Chafe (1980) em Libras. Os resultados indicam a possibilidade de a maioria das ações manuais na narrativa atenderem aos critérios de convencionalidade, composicionalidade e relação forma-significado definidos pela autora, mas também levantam questões no que diz respeito às realizações de boias e de sinais em contextos de ação construída em Libras. Como conclusão, apontamos para a insuficiência de uma abordagem gestual de cunho “lexicalista” para explicação dos fenômenos gestuais que ocorrem no campo discursivo das línguas de sinais e da Libras, na qual esta análise se baseia.Associação Brasileira de Linguística2021-09-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://revista.abralin.org/index.php/abralin/article/view/187510.25189/rabralin.v20i2.1875Revista da ABRALIN; V. 20, N. 2 (2021); 1-25Revista da ABRALIN; V. 20, N. 2 (2021); 1-250102-715810.25189/rabralin.v20i2reponame:Revista da ABRALIN (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR)instacron:UFPRporhttps://revista.abralin.org/index.php/abralin/article/view/1875/2470https://revista.abralin.org/index.php/abralin/article/view/1875/2475Copyright (c) 2021 Marcelo Portoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPorto, Marcelo2021-09-24T17:51:06Zoai:ojs.revista.ojs.abralin.org:article/1875Revistahttps://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 |
