Resumo: As part of a two-year research project, the study examines the diagrammatic iconicity of the Y-handshape of two non-cognate sign languages; the American Sign Language and Greek Sign Language. In a sample of sixty-four signs, and through a close reading approach, it demonstrates the association of the specific handshape with real-world referents that have simultaneously a round and angular form (e.g. cylinder, cone), or only an angular/ linear shape. It also shows its historic association with the ancient traditional sign mano cornuta, addressing its metonymy in meanings relating to quantity, earth, life, loss, light and cavity.

Em uma amostra de sessenta e quatro sinais, e através de uma metodologia de leitura próxima, o estudo demonstra a associação da forma de mão específica com referentes do mundo real que têm simultaneamente forma redonda e angular (por exemplo, cilíndrica, cônica), ou apenas forma angular/linear. Também apoia a sua associação histórica com o antigo signo mano cornuta, abordando sua metonímia em significados relativos à quantidade, terra, vida, perda, luz e cavidade.UNESP2018-11-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/alfa/article/view/1088410.1590/1981-5794-1811-8ALFA: Revista de Linguística; v. 62 n. 3 (2018)1981-5794reponame:Alfa (São José do Rio Preto.
