Marcas de uso de regionalismos no “dicionário aurélio da língua portuguesa”

Abstract

This work is guided on the assumptions of lexicography and objectively investigate the regionalisms use of trademarks in the Dictionary Aurélio Buarque de Holanda Ferreira 2nd edition, 1986, 5th edition, 2010, in order to see whether there is representation from all regions of Brazil through the records of regional words in that work, and what criteria were used for the inclusion of these lexias in the dictionary. To this end, we analyze the prefaces of the works selected for the purpose of identifying these inclusion criteria; identify the entries with brands Brazilianism use the first three pages of the letters A, B, C and D, the two editions of the dictionary; analyze a crop of entries divided into lexical units marked by Brazilianism, watching general use and location; make comparative analysis between the two editions of the Aurélio Dictionary (2nd and 5th editions); making comparison between Aurélio Dictionary (5th ed.) and the Concise Oxford Dictionary of the English Language (2009 1st ed.), using the same analysis criteria Aurélio (the first three pages of the letters A, B, C and D); for what purpose of comparing the results with respect to regionalism; and finally compare the Aurélio Dictionary (5th ed.) and regionalism dictionary Gaucho Dictionary (5th ed. 2013). As a theoretical basis, we use the concepts of lexicography, lexicology, sociolinguistics, plus studies focused on the area of regionalism. Data analysis showed that there is no explicit criteria for inclusion of regionalism in the dictionary Aurélio and regionalisms records in the work favor the South and Northeast regions to the detriment of other regions, reaching the exclusion of some regions such as the North case and Southeast, in the 5th edition. Thus, there was a big gap in relation to what is considered the Portuguese of Brazil represented with the use of trademarks of regionalisms this lexicographical work.
