Estrutura linguística da Língua Brasileira de Sinais: um gesto de análise

Abstract

In order to understand the language status that the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) has, we aim to analyze the linguistic structure that allows Libras its versatility and freedom in the lexical choice of its speakers, making it possible to adapt to the different speech contexts that its user is inserted. and how they can interfere in the communication process between them, since sign language is the only form of language fully accessible to the deaf, and this was made official by law 10.436/02 as a legal means of communication and expression, it is a language visual-spatial, which allows its integral development, before that we try to understand the origin of its emergence and analyze its linguistic characteristics, in order to demystify the idea that Libras is a copy of the Portuguese language or any other oral language. For this, we used bibliographic research and at the end of this we seek to clarify that Libras is a self-sufficient language, which contains morphological and phonological levels that allow its user a range of possibilities of use in the most varied contexts of speech.
