Description
Summary:This review presents the experiment that Ronald Beline Mendes, professor and researcher at the University of São Paulo and CNPq productivity fellow, has developed with a focus on the notion of sociolinguistic perception of sounding gay. His presentation was divided into three parts: the first describes the theoretical assumptions adopted about the indexical relationship between linguistic elements and social meanings; in the second part, results of an opinion survey carried out in São Paulo of opinions about what it means to “sound gay” are reported; in the third part, Mendes presents the results of his perception research in which associations between linguistic form and social meanings are made implicitly.
