Mudança diacrônica e sincrônica dos vocábulos interação e interatividade no texto dicionarístico.

Abstract

Being a phenomenon subject to social transformations and human relations established in/by society, language experiences a continuous action of modification, which does not find total correspondence, nor timeliness in the act of registration in dictionaries. In this scope, this article seeks to verify the diachronic and synchronic change of the words interaction and interactivity in the dictionary text. The foundation for this research is located in studies of historical and lexical semantics that address the diachronic/synchronic perspective within the scope of lexicography. Methodologically, the dictionaryization process of the mentioned terms was the starting point of the investigation, to then identify whether both units of the language have the same meaning. Six dictionaries were used, covering a period from 1975 to 1999, in contrast to two others from 2011. The results indicate that these words, although similar in spelling, have different employment origins and cataloging dates. In conclusion, it is possible to state that both are relatively recent and that the introduction of the word interaction occurred before the term interactivity in the dictionary. Furthermore, it can be assured that there is a consensus on the etymology of the word interaction, but there is no consensus on the word interactivity. Carrying out this work is justified by its purpose of contributing to linguistic studies inherent to the area of ??historical-lexical semantics, becoming a source for further reflections on the processes of change and variation in the language.
