| Sumario: | Abstract in Libras
In sign languages, especially in Libras, there is a lack of research investigating and describing the manifestation of recursion. Thus, we investigated the occurrence of recursive structures in signed narratives in Libras, signed by three deaf subjects and available in the national corpus of Libras. With the ELAN software, we conducted annotation, transcription and data analysis, which made it possible to identify recursive markers, such as manual forms in the production of elements signed by both hands simultaneously, indicating manual grammatical overlap, manual and non-manual forms produced simultaneously, with facial and body signs and expressions being used as elements of embedding, as well as non-manual forms (facial and body expressions). In addition, we also identified facial and body expressions that seem to play a recursive role, such as: upper body inclination; upper body/shoulder elevation; role play; head movement; eye gaze; elevation or contraction of eyebrows and eyes; mouth movement, and lips and chin lift. Finally, we have found that non-manual markers were more frequent in this analysis. |
