THE LEXICON OF FOOTBALL IN LIBRAS: PROPOSED GLOSSARY FOR HIGH SCHOOL
Lexicon. Libras. Sport. Glossary. Teaching.
The lexicon of a language constitutes the vocabulary heritage of a linguistic group and is directly related to the cultural factors of that group (BIDERMAN, 2001). As a natural language, the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) presents its lexical universe produced in visual-spatial modality and materialized through signs. The present research is inserted in the domain of the lexicon and aims to record and describe the specific signs of Field, Futsal and society football in order to create a glossary with visual specificities for deaf students. Said glossary will also deal with the variants in Brazilian Sign Language to provide use in High School. We will take as a basis the studies by Biderman (2001), Antunes (2012), Quadros and Karnopp (2004), Quadros (2019). The research is of the applied type, with a qualitative approach, which uses the autoethnographic method as a basis for the selection, recording and analysis of data. The signs were distributed from semantic fields: Materials, equipment and sports clothing; sport participants; game actions. So far, 28 signals from the first field, 22 from the second field and 28 from the third semantic field were selected.
