Glossário dos vinhedos da Campanha Gaúcha: um estudo do léxico da uva e do vinho à luz da terminologia e da linguística de corpus

Abstract

This thesis investigated the lexicon of viticulture in the Campanha region of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), more precisely the specialized vocabulary of the production of grapes and wine in that region. The study may be justified by the absence of works on the subject, based on the intersection of Terminology with Corpus Linguistics (BERBER SARDINHA, 2004). In addition to the academic work involved in the investigation, the thesis also presents a terminology glossary as the product of the study. Parallel to the compilation and extensive selection of textual collections on the subject, the study also tested a few concordance software programs, until it was possible to find the most efficient one for the elaboration of the terminology product of this thesis. the Sketch Engine (SE) software was chosen, (KILGARIFF, 2003), which optimizes the verification of how lexical items and terminological units behave and relate to each other. For the composition of the study corpus, different text types and genres were selected, dating from 2013 to 2020, the specific period in which the Campaign's vitiviniculture was developed. Thus, this empirical work also involved planning the selection, organization, and compilation of representative corpora in the relevant area, which culminated in a study corpus of 1,683,370 words. The selection made it possible to understand the functioning of the lexicon of the discursive universes covered: from academic texts obtained from the Capes portal, journalistic texts, works of relevance to Enology and advertising texts of the wineries in the region. A reference corpus was also compiled, which was obtained with the SE with 3,896,790 words from texts that circulate in the discursive community of vitiviniculture. The corpus-driven methodology was used. There was a significant presence of items composed of adjacent collocates as a specific characteristic of each analyzed subcorpus. Finally, the terminological units were validated by specialists in the field for inclusion in the glossary. At the end of the validation, the entry forms for a selection of items were created, which make up part of the terminology product of this research: The Glossary of the Campanha Gaúcha vineyards. The Glossary in its final form will be available in an application and may serve as a guide for wine tourism and as a reference for both wine professionals and lovers
