Abstract

This research is based on the translations carried out within the scope of the Interpretação e Tradução de Línguas de Sinais e Línguas vocais – InterTrads, research center. It is based on cognitive linguistics and studies of sign languages, mainly on iconicity, which constitutes the essence of a visual expression. With a documentary study, we present examples, taken from our corpus of documentary analysis videos of translations, of standardized sign-terms. This repertoire is published in the glossary of sign-terms available on the research center’s YouTube channel. In addition, we discuss, based on this, the possibilities of using the principles of mental mapping in spontaneous discourse in the elaboration of conceptual sign-terms in translation processes from Portuguese to Libras.
Keywords: Cognition. Language. Translation studies. Sign Language.
