A VARIAÇÃO LEXICAL EM DESIGNAÇÕES PARA ALGUNS FENÔMENOS ATMOSFÉRICOS NOS DADOS DO PROJETO ATLAS LINGUÍSTICO DO BRASIL

Abstract

Taking into account that “the lexicon of a language maintains a close relationship with the cultural history of the community” (OLIVEIRA; ISQUERDO 2001, p. 09). The Northeast is a culturally diverse region, popular Northeastern creativity is manifested in the most diverse ways. forms: folklore, crafts, cooking, etc. Thus, the distribution of a community in a certain geographic area is a factor of linguistic differentiation: each point in this area has different social, historical, cultural experiences and this has an impact on its language. (FARACO, 1998, p.112). When we study the lexicon of a particular community, we find the particularities it presents in relation to other locations. Relationships of linguistic similarities and contrasts in the diatopic and diastratic scopes are commonly observed in comparative studies between linguistic communities. The linguistic multiplicity of a place depends on the varieties: geographical or diatopic (local dialects and speech) and sociocultural or diastratic (speaker's group or situation). That said, we will present in this study, linguistic facts (lexical variants of words belonging to the thematic area atmospheric phenomena), explaining the geographic and social characteristics of the informants and their implications. This work uses the data collected by the Project Atlas Linguístico do Brasil (ALiB) team in the Northeast Region as a corpus of analysis and as theoretical assumptions dialectology, geosociolinguistics and lexical approaches, such as lexicology, lexicography and terminology. The data refer to the capitals of each state, collected from informants selected according to the established profile (men and women, range 1 (18-30 years) and range 2 (50-65 years), elementary and university level) . In this opportunity, the objective is to discuss the diatopic distribution of the lexical variants for the questions 07. redemoinho (de vento); 08. relâmpago; 09. raio; 10. trovão;16. estiar o tempo e 17. arco-íris of the thematic area atmospheric phenomena of the QSL of the ALiB Project. As a result of this work, the lexias raio e corisco were obtained for question 09. And with regard to Questions 08 (relampago), 10 (trovão) and 16 (arco-íris) the results point to the absence of linguistic variation , both from a lexical and diatopic perspective.
