Abstract(s)
Na literatura, são raros os estudos que descrevem sistematicamente os elementos, as estruturas e o funcionamento da Língua Gestual Portuguesa (LGP). Sendo uma língua oficialmente reconhecida no ensino de crianças surdas (Decreto de Lei N.º Lei 1/97, nº2, artigo 74º h), importa desenvolver estudos de descrição gramatical de forma que a LGP possa ser metalinguisticamente ensinada e aprendida, além de linguisticamente conhecida. De forma a descrever e a compreender o uso da quantificação numeral cardinal em LGP, o presente estudo analisa sistematicamente a distribuição do quantificador numeral cardinal (QC) no sintagma nominal (SN) com base no Corpus de Referência da LGP (Projeto Corpus & Avatar da LGP (Ref.ª PTDC/LLT-LIN/29887/2017). Até então, a quantificação nominal fora unicamente abordada por Amaral et. al. (1994), em que, com base na produção de dados por um número limitado de gestuantes, se atribui a posição pós-nominal ao QC no SN como sendo a ordem correta em LGP e se identifica a posição pré-nominal do mesmo em estruturas de LGP consideradas influenciadas pelo português. Na procura de se analisar e descrever sistematicamente a posição do QC no SN em LGP, foram analisados 177 SN quantificados com QC, que foram produzidos por 39 gestuantes de LGP, entre 1992 e 2019, de Portugal Continental e do Arquipélago da Madeira. Nesta análise de linguística de corpora, identificou-se uma tendência de ocorrência do QC em posição pré-nominal em LGP transversal a todos os gestuantes e nas várias funções sintáticas do SN, observando-se, ainda, que as percentagens mais altas de ocorrência se registaram à medida que o discurso se apresentou mais naturalístico. Dado que a posição pré-nominal do QC no SN já havia sido identificada em Amaral et. al. (1994), poder-se-á considerar que estes resultados poderão refletir que estamos perante uma fase de transição ou de consolidação da posição pré-nominal do QC no SN em LGP. Um processo de evolução linguística típico das línguas naturais.
In the literature, studies that systematically describe the elements, structures and function of Portuguese Sign Language (LGP) are rare. Being an officially recognized language in the teaching of deaf children (Decree of Law N.o Lei1/97, no2, article 74o h), it is important to develop studies of grammatical description so that LGP can be metalinguistically taught and learned, besides being linguistically known. In order to describe and understand the use of cardinal numeral quantification in LGP, the present study systematically analyses the distribution of the cardinal numeral quantifier (QC) in the nominal syntagma (SN) based on the LGP Reference Corpus (Projeto Corpus & Avatar da LGP (Ref. PTDC/LLT-LIN/29887/2017). Until then, nominal quantification had only been addressed by Amaral and colleagues (1994), where, based on the production of data by a limited number of gesturers, the post-nominal position of the QC in the SN is attributed as the correct order in LGP and the pre-nominal position of the same is identified in Portuguese-influenced LGP structures. In the quest to systematically analyse and describe the position of QC in the SN in LGP, 177 SN quantified with QC that were produced by 39 LGP signers between 1992 and 2019 from mainland Portugal and the Madeira Archipelago were analysed. In this corpora linguistics analysis, a trend of occurrence of QC in pre-nominal position in LGP was identified across all the gesturers and the syntactic function of the SN, observing that the highest percentages of occurrence were recorded as the discourse became more naturalistic. Given that the prenominal position of the QC in the SN had already been identified in Amaral and colleagues (1994), these results may reflect a transition or consolidation phase of the prenominal position of the QC in the SN in LGP. A process of linguistic evolution typical of natural languages.
