This model involves three stages: image selection, schematization and encoding. The first stage consists of selecting aspects of the referent one wants to express linguistically. The second one refers to the reduction of those aspects to a scheme that keeps their fundamental structural relationship. The third stage consists of selecting the appropriate phonetic resources for the linguistic manifestation of a concept. In light of Taub's model, we have analyzed the creation of technical terms in Libras to refer to Aedes aegypti and the viruses it transmits. The data was collected from an interaction involving nine deaf individuals and one hearing biologist in a Telegram group. The results indicate that image selection and schematization were influenced by the viral structure images shown and explained by the biologist. In addition, they showed that encoding involved articulatory and perceptual factors.

Libras.1 Introdução Para Saussure (2006 [1916]), a língua é um sistema de signos, entidades psíquicas formadas de uma face conceitual, o significado, e outra acústica, o significante. Segundo o autor, o laço que une essas duas grandezas linguísticas é arbitrário, ou seja, a sequência de fonemas empregada para se referir a um determinado conceito nãoé motivada por qualquer de seus aspectos. Isso fica patente quando se observa que línguas diferentes expressam um mesmo significado através de significantes distintos. Saussure reconhece, no entanto, a existência das onomatopeias, signos linguísticos cujo significante é icônico, ou seja, motivado por seu significado. Apesar disso, o autor sustenta que as onomatopeias “não são apenas pouco numerosas, mas sua escolha é já, em certa medida, arbitrária,
