Abstract

The Linguistic Atlas of Brazil is a complex project, with several teams and centers
throughout the Brazilian territory. Throughout its execution, the regional and state teams had

several volunteers, undergraduate and graduate students interested in contributing to the project.
This project yielded, in addition to the publication of part of the Linguistic Atlas of Brazil,
regarding data from Brazilian capitals, some research on territories that are not on the list of
points of the national project. Assuming that lexical charts are lexicographic texts (HAENSCH,
1997) and, therefore, multimodal (PONTES, 2009), in this work, we will analyze ten lexical
charts produced in two graduate studies (MONTEIRO, 2011; SARAIVA, 2019), based on
Metalexicography and Multimodality Theory. The charts were analyzed from the categories of
the compositional function of the Grammar of Visual Design (KRESS; VAN LEEUWEN, 2014):
value of information, salience and framing. The results found indicate evidences of regularities
and divergences in the three categories analyzed, considering that, although different manners, the
two atlases displaying an organization of the text elements in a vertical reading axis, a use of color
as a Salience feature and the use of blanks to configure blocks of information in the text.
