Abstract

This article aims to analyze disfluencies produced in signing in Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) during an interview involving a deaf interviewee and a hearing interviewer. The theoretical-analytical framework is aligned with psycholinguistic studies focused on characterizing disfluencies in oral language production (by identifying the structure of sequences with disfluencies, their moments of occurrence, and their functions). The aim is to evaluate the possibility of correlating types of disfluencies in oral languages with those observed in sign languages. The article reports the most recurrent types of disfluencies in sign languages in the situation under scrutiny, including pauses (filled and silent), repairs, sign repetitions, and segmentation restarts, seeking to identify their points of occurrence, functions and associated cognitive processes.
