Diversidade linguística na internet: o caso do léxico no twitter - um estudo a partir do falante manauara

Abstract

This article aims to analyse the semantic-lexical perspectives found in profiles of the social network Twitter. To do so, we make use of the theoretical basis of Labov (1972), Monteiro (2008), Oliveira (2009), Aragão (2013), Tarallo (1986), among other theoretical theoretical contributions. The idea is to make a semantic-lexical survey of ten words used by Twitter users in order to verify whether such terms also appear in other practices sociocommunicative practices of informants. In order to achieve this objective, firstly, a a collection of terms in this social network, and then applied a questionnaire to ten speakers manauaras, five men and five women, college students, aged 18-35 years, who could, through this instrument, reflect on the use of words and expressions of Twitter in their everyday activities. The results reveal that the speech of social networks reaches other communication realizations, exerting great influence on the language of informants. We hope, with this research, contribute to the sociolinguistic investigations conducted in the city of Manaus, highlighting the virtual space as a speech community in which its users share norms of language use, for example, the meanings attributed to some terms to some terms that have appeared on the internet. Keywords: lexicon; semantic-lexical variation; Twitter
