O sentido na linguagem: um estudo enunciativo do verbo nos dialetos soteropolitano e recifense

Abstract

This research investigated the semantic and semiotic senses of verbs in Salvador and Recife from the discussions dealt with the theory of Enunciation of Émile Benveniste. This was possible because the dialectal form brings meaning to the one who speaks. The notion of sense in Benveniste s theory example cannot be understood without being related to the notion of form. We examined the semantic relationship of verbs as dialect-index of the subject and of cultural identity based on the theory of Émile Benveniste, from brands of the subject in the language to speak in the language, that is, by placing the tongue when appropriates and uses a dialect. We emphasize that we consider the subject that is established and is in relationship with each other and with the language in the speech. The methodology used in this study was based on field research and the analysis of the qualitative type, following the instructions of the ALiB (Atlas Linguístico do Brasil). We carried out the data collection interviews with grafematic transcription that were made to the act of investigation in which the subjects were asked to answer questions about the grammatical class of verbs, since we were looking for verbs as indicators of subjectivity. In the interview, we used an adapted questionnaire which we elaborated according to the reality of each region investigated (Recife and Salvador), for we used the ALiB Morph-syntactic Questionnaire-QMS. We interviewed on the spot 40 subjects of two age groups: between 18 to 30 years and another between 50 to 65 years old, who have completed higher education or even the fifth grade of elementary school. After the analysis of the results, we verified that the subject during the speech reflects his relationship with the language coated with issues of cultural identity. The dialect forms recorded by informants in Recife and Salvador are endowed with sense, which allows us to understand that the relationship of meaning pertain for who makes use of language.
