CONSTITUIÇÃO DE SINAIS DOS MODOS E PONTOS DE ARTICULAÇÃO DA LÍNGUA PORTUGUESA, EM LIBRAS

This paper proposes the creation of signs, in Libras, for terms of articulatory Phonetics, related to the places of articulation, concerning Portuguese Language specific-LP, produced in conjunction with a deaf scholar during the discipline of phonetics and phonology of the Language Course of the State University of of Mato Grosso-UNEMAT. The creation of those new signals aimed to provide the deaf community, through those signs, a better understanding of the International Phonetic Alphabet, during the lessons of that discipline. To do so we have initially analyzed if those signals already existed in the new Lounge-a Trilingual Illustrated encyclopedic dictionary: Libras of Brazilian sign language-Pounds or in specific bibliography this area presented in the courses of letters or Letters, in Brazil. For the Constitution of those signals, we have discussed with the deaf student who, somehow, was the protagonists of the proposition of those new signs. Also with the help of the http://www.fonologia.org site and the orientation of the teacher of the discipline, we have explained/interpreted the basics concepts of articulatory Phonetics, through videos, which represented the articulation of the Portuguese sounds. The results pointed to the fact that, when deaf student have contact with his/her own Language (Libras), in the teaching environment, it facilitates the process of learning a of second language, regardless of the content discussed.
