Abstract

This PhD thesis aimed to draw up an electronic glossary, monolingual in portuguese, brazilian variant, cartographic mapping the distribution of terms in geographic space. The preparation of this terminological work led to the knowledge linguistic and terminological variety of portuguese used by rural workers in the specialized activity of production of cassava flour in Pará, Brazil and can be constituted as a systematized database for future scientific research. The theoretical orientation used for the description of the terms is based on the postulates of Socioterminology (GAUDIN, 1993; 2003; FAULSTICH, 1995a, 1995b, 1996; 1998a; 1998b; 2001; 2006; 2010), combined with the prospect Geolinguística (COSERIU 1982 ; BRANDÃO, 1991 ALINEI, 1994; FERREIRA and CARDOSO, 1994; THUN, 2005; CARDOSO, 2009; CARDOSO, 2010). Used as data collection tools for the compilation of the corpus of the research, the application of a terminological questionnaire containing 877 questions related to the practice of cassava flour production totaling 50 hours of audio recording, transcribed grafematicamente with the help of software Transana and processed by the lexical analysis software Word Smith Tools that helped us in the semi-automatic extraction task of terms. The questionnaire was applied on interviews with rural workers five mesoregions of Pará Amazon, namely: Para Northeast, Marajó, Pará Southeast, Southwest and Pará Lower Amazon. For the preparation of electronic glossary resorted to Lexique Pro 3.6 software to organize the entries according to the macrostructure and the microstructure defined. As a final result, we present a computerized terminological product which allowed the inclusion of images, videos, audios and terminology cartograms of the most recurring variations in the geographical distribution of terms. Electronic glossary has 506 terms that represent part of the socio-cultural universe of activity carrying farm workers and point to the terminological assets used by people in various communities in Amazon,Pará, Brazil.
