Descrição
This article aims at analyzing, following the view of the Event Semantics, proposed by Eduardo Guimarães (2005), how the designations given to places of prostitution occur. These designations predicate the image of woman/prostitute. For the analysis, we use as data: police records of the 60s and 70s held in the city of Cáceres-MT. In this space of enunciation, we analyze how the constitution of the meanings of "vulgos" - "professional names" - of these women occur, names by which they are identified in meretricious places. Thus, we intend to understand how the dual legal identity of these women develops in different spaces of enunciation.KEYWORDS: Event Semantics; Designation; Prostitute.||Este artigo analisa, na perspectiva da Semântica do Acontecimento de Eduardo Guimarães (2005), como se dá a constituição dos nomes atribuídos do lugar do meretrício e que predicam a imagem da mulher/meretriz, utilizando como material: registros policiais da década de 60 e 70, realizados na cidade de Cáceres-MT. Nesse espaço de enunciação, analisamos como ocorre a constituição dos sentidos de “vulgos” – os “nomes de guerra” – dessas mulheres, nomes pelos quais elas são identificadas no espaço do meretrício. Assim, buscamos compreender como se constitui sócio-historicamente a dupla identidade jurídica e social dessas mulheres em diferentes espaços de enunciação.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Semântica do Acontecimento; Designação; Meretriz.
