Description
Summary:This article aimed a description of lexical dynamics - structure and word formation - the Human toponymic lexicon of city of Alagoas, in the light of general Linguistics Morphological studies (BASÍLIO, 2007; KEHDI, 2006; SANDMANN, 1991, 1992; ZANOTTO, 1996) in dialogue with the Toponymy (DICK, 1990, 1992, 2007; ISQUERDO, 2012).

And yet, in relation to the Morphic of the names of Alagoas municipalities, the composition by juxtaposition formed by nuclear element + restrictive deputy without the aid of preposition proved the most recurrent morphic constitution this toponymic lexicon.
