Resumo
This study entitled “In the trails of manuscripts: lexical study about black slavery in Catalão-GO
(1861-1887)” has the aim to analyze the lexias present in notary documents of the nineteenth
century from Catalão-GO, which refer to slavery and/or allow us to know underneath what
configuration it occurred. We followed the assumption that the lexicon is the language level with
more contact point with the extralinguistic reality, and for this reason enable us to access the history
and culture of a people. With regard to the black slavery occurred in Brazil, we also believe that
deal with primary and secondary sources is indispensable, because they facilitate a reliable study
of historical and linguistically facts from past generations. Thus, based on Philology and
Lexicology, we pursued these steps: first, we selected sixty-four manuscript documents of different
types and regarding to slaves, specifically: sale, freedom, mortgage, sale of parts, donation and
exchange. In a row, based on “Normas para Transcrição de Documentos Manuscritos para a
História do Português do Brasil”, by Megale and Toledo Neto (2005), we edit semidiplomatically
and in justalinear arrangement all documents. We carried out, after that, an inventory with all lexias
related to slavery, by observing the contexts of use and when they were not enough to clarify the
meaning, we resorted to the dictionaries by Moraes Silva (1813), Houaiss and Villar (2009) and
Bluteau (1712-1728), among others. Then, we organized and analyzed this lexias based on the
theory of lexical fields, founded on theoretical suppositions by Geckeler (1976), Coseriu (1977),
Biderman (1987), Lopes and Rio Torto (2007) and Vilela (1979), whereby we identified three
macro-fields: slave, lord and transactions, which were subdivided into other fields. On the slave
field, we listed all lexias that deal specifically with bondservants, which are analyzed from the
fields: social status, professions, marital status, affiliation and registration. The lord field, in turn,
is organized in three micro-fields: profession/position, forms of slave acquisition and rights over
the slave. Regarding to the transaction field we have identified five micro-fields, namely: types of
transactions and involved parts, notarial functions, documents/books/notary signs, taxes and money. Thereby, the research carried out corroborated with the hypothesis that through the study
of the lexicon we are given the knowledge of the history of a people. Particularly, we have been
able to understand some of Catalão's history in the eighteenth century in respect to black
enslavement.
