A criação de sinais em libras por meio de pessoas ouvintes

Abstract

This work brings reflections on the bibliographic discussions present in the literature of sign languages, in the case of Libras, on the paradigms that involve the process of creating signs by its users, deaf and hearing people, qualified to create signs that are validated by the deaf community. We seek to know the effective participation of the hearing people in this process. Therefore, some motivational, linguistic and sociocultural elements are briefly raised in the formation of these signs, as well as the aspects related to the parameters that constitute the signs of the language lexicon, its context of use and the construction of the meaning of this sign, whether in the scope of arbitrariness or iconicity in this formation process. The methodology used was the qualitative analytical of bibliographic investigation in order to know the possible researches in this area of sign creation in Libras. As a result of the research, it is clear that we still have little scientific content on the subject, thus making it difficult to understand the hearing person's involvement in the creation of signs, it can be concluded, however, that deaf and hearing people are Libras users and do part of the deaf community.
