SUMMARY:

The deaf community has its own way of communicating in Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) that allows it to express itself fluently on the most varied subjects at any time. In communication between groups of young people and deaf adults, however, the understanding of some signals may be compromised, if dominant hand and non-dominant hand movements are, for example, performed with the same hand. It is important to study the different ways of signaling that deaf people use in a conversation, recognizing conditioned signals. Thus, this work, inserted in the field of Libras Phonetics, aims to analyze the omission of hands within the Libras parameters of deaf people fluent in Libras in Fortaleza, Florianópolis and Maceió. For this, theoretically, we use Stokoe (1960), Xavier (2014), Gripp (2010) Karnopp and Quadros (2004) and Brito (2010) as a reference in the field of Linguistics. Methodologically, we carried out a qualitative investigation based on the National Libras Inventory (CNPQ). We used the ELAN software to select excerpts according to glosses that indicate omissions in Libras. From the analysis of the ELAN glosses, we selected 10 deaf subjects from Fortaleza, Maceió and Florianópolis, 4 men and 6 women with a level of education between high school, university and Libras teachers. We analyzed the Corpus de Libras in three categories: (1) omission of dominant and non-dominant hand signals on the face/facial expression; (2) omission in neutral space and contextualization of signs; and (3) omission of hands in typing in Libras. Regarding the first category, we observed that there are no linguistic rules for omissions in the face/facial expression. In addition to the hands, the structure of the communication space or part of the body and strategies such as rhythms and fast or slow signals are used, but without a defined structure. Even so, the deaf can understand the speech of their peers. Regarding the second category, we noticed that the articulations of the mouth help to recover in memory the words associated with the signs – dependency between Portuguese and Libras – even when omissions occur due to the clarity of the facial expression. Regarding the third category, Portuguese and Libras have different meanings. Comparing words in Portuguese and typing in sign language, we saw omissions in the latter. Some signs, however, are not harmed by the omissions and, therefore, it is possible to use one hand when the other is busy with objects even if the omission of the hands in typing makes communication more complicated to understand the signs. We therefore conclude that the omission of Libras happens more frequently in the left hand (passive) and that this is a natural consequence of communication in the deaf community. In addition, it is intended to reaffirm that this loss is not characterized as a problem, a communication failure, and that the signer is not obliged to make use of both hands of support to establish an understandable dialogue. Even the omission of some parameters is a natural linguistic feature, especially if this Libras parameter is at the same time conversational.
