Resumo
The objective of this paper is to analyze some ‘morphic’ and semantic-syntactic properties
that allow us to define Noun and Verb in Brazilian Sign Language (BSL). It is based on a
contemporary approach of linguistic analysis named functional-cognitive (Croft e Cruse,
2004; Fauconnier e Turnner, 1998, 2008; Givón, 2001; Langacker, 1987, 1990, 1991, 2008 e
Taylor, 2002). In this perspective, a linguistic analysis asserts that the code should be
regarded as dynamic and likely to suffer changes that come from the speaking community and
the universe, never as an immutable entity. In this way, this research bases itself on the fact
that in BSL, the processes of cognitive nature and discursive-pragmatic nature motivate the
distribution of such linguistic code in terms of categories. The data analysis is done in two
distinct moments. First, we showed analysis observations concerning those signs in BSL that
are related to Nouns and Verbs in Brazilian Portuguese (BP), that is, we worked with nominal
notions and verbal notions based on the prototypical semantic characteristics proposed by
Givón (2001). At this stage, it was possible to link the prototypical semantic characteristics
that are correlated to Verbs and Nouns in BP. Afterwards, we analyzed the grammatical
criteria that are typical of the language being studied based on bigger constructions. In such
analyses, we verified that a first criterion to identifying a contrast between verbal and nominal
notions, in BSL, was semantic feature dynamicity, which separates dynamic events/activities
from entities/states more stable in time.
