O rimário de Wilberth Salgueiro em sonetos

Abstract

The thrust of this qualitative, bibliographical-documentary research, using a comprehensive-interpretive method, is to investigate the aesthetic-constitutive attributes of Wilberth Salgueiro's rhymes in the corpus consisting of the 48 sonnets published in Sonetos (2021). From these, it was derived a subset, referred to as a select corpus, bringing together one sonnet from each of the book's seven series. Focusing on diversification, this study analyzed both how the rhymes are constituted and how they constitute the aesthetics of the sonnets. The thesis is based on a methodological agreement between the theoretical-conceptual tools of traditional stylistics and the analytical perspective inspired by the Bakhtinian concept of style - the author's individual choices, under the domain of a discursive genre and crossed by dialogical links (BAKHTIN, 2011). The first part of the research is based on a bibliographical review of the poet's career, the sonnet genre and the stylistic resource of rhyme. The second analyses the typological diversity of rhyme using descriptors from Rogério Chociay (1974) and Humberto Mello Nóbrega (1965). The third consists of literary analyses of the seven sonnets in the selection, observing the role of rhyme in specific enunciations. Among other things, the conclusion pointed out that the poet systematically adopts approximate rhymes predominance, accentual asymmetry, the presence of full rhymes with deviant traits, fragments, unstressed monosyllables, and reiteration between morphologically distinct rhyming words. These rhyming characters favor unpredictability, non-monotony, creative freedom, and the ideological affirmation of diversity in a metalinguistic key. The maximally diversified aesthetic experimentation entangled in the sophisticated weave of linguistic-discursive choices is therefore consecrated as a valuable and emblematic aspect of Wilberthian rhyming in the corpus in question.
