Proposta terminológica para sinais relacionados à barbearia em Libras

Abstract

It is through language that social interactions occur and through it that its speakers construct their realities in various spaces in the spheres of human activities. In this sense, the objective of this study is to present a proposal for recording and describing signs related to male haircuts in Libras terminologies, observing the parametric basis for the constitution of this specialized lexicon in the context of personal care use, an area of health. To achieve this, theoretically, we resort to linguistic concepts focused on the study of the lexicon in natural languages, focusing on sign language, Libras, presenting the differences between the terms Lexicology, Lexicography and Terminology (SILVA; CONCEIÇÃO; MONTE; ALMEIDA, 2020 ); to aspects of multimodality, imagery resources, which stand out as an important communication tool (FERRAZ, 2011 apud SOARES, 2020); to the discursive domains (MARCUSCHI, 2008) and the uses of signs involved in the interaction between deaf people who frequent a Barbershop for their personal hygiene care. As for the methodology, in addition to research and bibliographic review, we carried out field research to observe signs, take notes and systematize data. We then recorded the signals on videos in a home studio with two deaf people, and these signals were later reproduced by the researchers for presentation in this study, as a way of guaranteeing confidentiality and preserving the image of the deaf people. Our results indicate that the registration and documentation of these sign-terms contribute, on the one hand, to expanding the lexicon with a view to creating a glossary with sign-terms focused on the barbershop and, on the other hand, it provides a more inclusive environment, in which deaf people and professionals can interact with each other, thus breaking down communication barriers.
