Neologismos na literatura feminina sul-mato-grossense contemporânea

Abstract

This research aims to analyze and describe the neologisms present in the solo works of the Mato Grosso-South writers Diana Pilatti and Tânia Souza, thus contributing, with the appreciation and dissemination of women’s literature of Mato Grosso do Sul. We present a mini-biography and an interview with each of the writers. We have as theoretical support the studies of Alves, Biderman, Cardoso, Saussure, Polguère among others, which guide us in terms of concepts and classifications of neology and literary neology. Our corpus of analysis is composed by the 6 solo works of Diana Pilatti and the 8 of Tânia Souza because, we find the presence of neologisms in all works. We analyze the amount of neologisms present in each book, which neologisms processes were used in the creation of the neologisms, what is the grammatical class of the neologisms created and the lexias of base. Our exclusion corpus is the Google Search, so we only consider neologism a lexia that is not found by it except in the context of the analyzed works. Thus, we found a total of 226 neologisms, being the most used neological process by our writers the syntactic, through composition were created 178 neologisms and by derivation 19 others were created by other processes with little occurrence. The most used grammatical class of the base lexias was noun, and is also the predominant grammatical class among the neologisms created.
