À guisa de uma tipologia para os tabus lingüísticos - proposta para um glossário

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to present a typology of the linguistics taboos existent in the Brazilian Linguistic Atlases. The corpus of this paper is made up of the answers presented by the interviewers in six Brazilian Linguistics Atlases, that is to say, Atlas Previo dos Atlas Previo dos Falares Baianos (APFB), Atlas Linguistico de Sergipe I (ALS I), Atlas Linguistico de Sergipe II (ALS II), Esboco para um Atlas Linguistico de Minas Gerais (EALMG), Atlas Linguistico da Paraiba (ALPB) e o Atlas Linguistico do Parana (ALPR). It will be based on the questionnaire “Questionario Semântico-lexical (QSL)” that consists of “Questionarios 2001Projeto Atlas Linguistico do Brasil (ALiB)”, from which we will use only the questions referring to the semantics field worked on. We selected six semantic fields to work on in this analysis, which are: atmosphere phenomena, human body, religion and beliefs, diseases, cycles of life and living and social behavior. Based on Guerios (1979), we will make a preliminary study of the linguistic taboo manifestation in the Portuguese language and we will present the means of substitution of the linguistic variants found in the linguistic atlases. A glossary having terminological files about the linguistics taboo typology will be presented at the very end. Finally, this paper tends to contribute, to a small extent, to the richness of these linguistic taboos. KEY-WORDS: linguistic taboo, word taboo, terminology, language and culture, linguistics variation.
