Resumo:Currently, since the COVID-19 comes up around the world, the people need more informationand communicate remotely. In addition, it was created a technical léxicon for signers in signlanguages in this new scenario. Thus, this article aims to analyze the iconic formation of signsreferring to term “coronavirus” in Brazilian Sign Language – Libras, at the phonological andmorphological levels, through analysis of the structural aspects of the signs and the description ofthis lexicon according to model proposed by Taub (2004). As a methodology, we adopted theexploratory level and it is characterized as a basic research type. We selected 3 videos from socialnetworks that each presented a variant of the coronavirus signal, these variants were analyzedqualitatively. As results, (i) the process of creating these signs reveals motivations related to theorigin of the disease, the structure of the virus and the contagion and symptoms of the disease and;(ii) the phonological structure of the variants reveals the important role of hand shape andmovement in the constitution of signs. Therefore, we conclude that in emerging lexicons, theiconicity has a fundamental role in the constitution of terms, this factor does not lower signlanguages to the status of non-natural languages, but rather demonstrates a peculiarity of theselanguages, the iconicity. And, it shows the richness of visual-gestural languages.
