Denominações para o corpo humano em português brasileiro em uso por médicos cubanos no sertão alagoano

Abstract

This research aimed to describe and analyze medical terms related to the human body by non native doctors who were in the backlands of Alagoas in the last decade of 2010. For that, we used the semantic-lexical quiz (QSL) of the Project Atlas Linguístico do Brasil – ALIB (COMITÊ, 2001), aiming to solve the following question: what are the medical terms used by doctors born in Cuba after an exchange program in the hinterland of Alagoas and what can be interpreted from that? The object of research is, therefore, the description and uses of these items, comprising the existing linguistic diversity not only in our country, but also among Spanish-speakers who have been in real contact with Brazilian Portuguese. Following the geolinguistic methodology, interviews were carried out in November and December 2022 and constituted the corpus and problematized the results. We had as theoretical background authors such as Cardoso (2010) and Aguilera & Barbosa-Doiron (2021), which allowed, among others, the recognition that intercomprehension, in addition to understanding that non-verbal processes in the communicative context of the Mais Medicos Program in Brazil in the 21st century.
