Abstract

This paper deals with the lexical variation on the denominations used by speakers of African countries where Portuguese is the official language (PALOPs), as answers from the semantic-lexical questionnaire of Brazil Linguistic Atlas, analyzing lexical varieties used by those Portuguese speakers to characterize concepts, since, by using a lexical expression to name something, are styling concepts according to their worldviews. This enquiry is part of a larger Project - of the Linguistic Variation, and Speech Discourse Processing: analysis and applications group (PROFALA1).
