This article presents a study on onomatopoeia and ideophones in the Ikpeng language whose people came to the region of the Xingu formers in the early twentieth century, when they lived in a state of war with their high-xinguan neighbors. For the preparation of this article, a bibliographic reading was made of the work of França (2017), in which the author collected 177 onomatopoeic/ideophone words present in 15 oral narratives with older speakers from the villages in order to describe the context of their use (onomatopoeia and ideophone) in texts, In addition to their derivational processes, they also describe the syntactic behavior, phonological characteristics and discursive functions that these elements may present in the language (emphasis, resumption, plurality, etc.).), to this end, this article proposes to present a (re)analysis of the data contained in France (2017), as well as new contributions to such a study. For the preparation of this work, the studies of Pierce (2005), Saussure (2006), Melo (2007), Pachêco (2001), Lee (1992); Bartens (2000); Fordyce (1988), França (2017) and others were used as theoretical reference.
