Para uma crítica lexicográfica das microestruturas da Munduruku Word List

Abstract

This work describes and analyzes a lexicographic material of a Brazilian indigenous language, focusing on the lexicographic treatment given to the microstructures of Munduruku Word List (CROFTS, 1986a, 1986b, 1986c, 1986d). This work was based on the science of the lexicon – lexicology, lexicography and metalexicography – since the work starts, above all, from metalexicographic reflections, taking as theoretical and methodological assumptions Haensch (1982), Welker (2004) and Atkins and Rundell (2008) for reflections of lexicographic theory; and Lopes (2014), for the description of microstructures according to a logical description scheme that presents the elements of the microstructures. The corpus consists of all entries beginning with the letter A of Munduruku Word List, and the analyzes show that, in this part of the material, there are 12 different basic microstructures, with variant elements in the headword, in the equivalent and example, and presence of notes of author referring to the headword and its equivalent. Other resources that are found in the material are literal translations and cross-references.
