LINGUISTIC ICONICITY IN LIBRAS NARRATIVE TRANSLATIONS
Autor

Resumen
Independently of the modality of language, the paper shows how iconicity forms the translation of a Portuguese poem into LIBRAS. Taking into consideration its phonemic iconicity in both languages, certain patterns seem to appear under common specific meanings. Thus, icons of nature are preferably expressed by closed phonemes, whereas patterns of linearity and flatness are performed by open phonemes. It suggests the use of iconicity as a metalinguistic awareness tool and mnemonic device.
