Uma abordagem etnoterminológica de Grande Sertão

An ethno terminological approach of "Grande Sertão: Veredas" In this Master ́s Dissertation we have proposed to analyze the minimal unit of meaning in the Ethno-terminology in the lexicon of "Grande Sertão: Veredas", in its ethnoliterary aspect, in order to understand how the reality of phenomenon is reflected in the axiology of the social-linguistic-cultural group of the sertanejo dos gerais.We have analyzed, in its different stages, the process of conceptualization of some word-terms of some of the work ́s denominations.Such process takes place in the generative trajectory of enunciation and is constituted by groups of conceptual semes, the nemes.The linguistic analysis revealed how the denominations, result of the persuasiveness of the announcer subject, originate in the conceptual qualities of cognition and are materialized in specific semantic traits, or in the concepts of each lexical unit, integrating the modalization process.We could observe that the conceptus, in its broad meaning, moves from its natural trajectory towards the cultural, and expands with the addition of conceptual semes which get organized in two groups: the ones with a cultural and ideological nature and the ones with a modalizing and intentional nature.Guimarães Rosa transplanted his linguistic research to his texts, to the protection of denominations, and enhanced the significants tied to concepts bearing semantic exclusivities which build from the specificity that names the beings, result of the knowledge inherited and grouped over generations.It is in this semantic exclusivity that the frontier that exists between word and term of the languages of specialities become dense in his novel, and it is, in those boundaries, that the word-term presents itself, in which the author finds words which are vigorous, profound and not wasted by inappropriate use.We have verified, especially, in the analysis of words chosen by us, the genesis of the word-term in the regional linguistic specificities and which draws ethnically the identity of a group.We are aware that in every of Rosa ́s work, in a smaller or bigger proportion, we verify the use of the virtuality that the linguistic system offers to its speakers, and the approach of the sociolinguistic aspects, converging to an unused semantics of the word-term in Rosa, which collaborated, in our point of view, to better characterize them in this ethno literary aspect.The analysis of the word-terms in "Grande Sertão: Veredas" demonstrates a resemantic process of the word used in the general language.That is, new sememes enrich the lexical unit, and also, the experience of those who approach the text, in referential, pragmatic and symbolic aspects, constituting, simultaneously, a semantic and social document of a culture.The words in use in general language constitute symbol-signs in "Grande Sertão: Veredas
