LÉXICO OBSCENO E GÍRIAS PAULISTANAS: UM ESTUDO NA PERSPECTIVA DA NEOLOGIA PRAGMÁTICA

Obscene language used as slang is the result of neology. The paper surveys slang words from neologic constructions, particularly the choice of obscene words for interactivity based on pragmatic factors. Pragmatics, interactional sociolinguistics, variation sociolinguistics and lexicology constitute the basic theory. Methodology comprises the collection of obscene slang words in interviews. Results show that obscene slang words constitute a sociolinguistic and pragmatic behavior with a broadening of the lexical field through pragmatic neology. In fact, they consolidate the concept of slang and establish new meaning possibilities for obscene lexical units in the language.
