Os lexemas nas músicas do Trio Roraimera

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to identify the lexicon presented in three songs composed by the members of
the “Trio Roraimeira”. The Portuguese language lexemes identified there present a “dialectal mosaic”, as
they represent national migration added to contact with indigenous languages, in addition to border
languages. The research aims to study the lexicon contained in songs that refer to a geographically
delimited society since the Portuguese spoken in the state of Roraima has some peculiar characteristics
that are represented in the lyrics of the songs by the trio in question. This article presents considerations
on the concept of the lexicon (BIDERMAM, 1978; CARDOSO, 2018), and the concept of Roraima lexicon that
mark the linguistic variation spoken in the northernmost state of the country (PROCÓPIO, 2021; FEITOSA,
2018; FRAGA, 2019). For this article, we have qualitative data, where we find the lexicon that presents a
strong identity mark, since such musicians, through art, show the cultural, geographic, and dialectal
linguistic landscape of the place where they are inserted
