This work is part of the ongoing research project called “Brazilian Sign Language Onomastic Studies”, and its purpose is to analyze the assignment of a name sign to some authors/researchers, whose name signs were searched in the Manuário Acadêmico e Escolar prepared by the National Institute of Deaf Education. Such research is part of the onomastic studies of sign languages, since in many sign language communities, it is common to assign a sign so that the individual can be recognized as part of that group. This sign, called “name signs”, uses visual characteristics and is always motivated. It is noted that name signs are also assigned to people who are not part of the deaf community, but who need to be constantly referenced, such as researchers, authors, philosophers, etc., related to the academic environment. For such analysis, we will use the taxonomy proposed by Barros (2018), which identified four main taxes to classify a name sign: Oral language loan, Physical appearance, Behavioral aspect and Social aspect. As preliminary results, we can observe that most of the signal assignments are related to physical characteristics of the nominees and little to their professional performance.
Keywords: Sign language; Anthroponomastics; Name signs.
