Abstract(s)
Esta tese insere-se no âmbito das ciências da linguagem e da terminologia, entendida como atividade de mediação comunicativa, dando ênfase à análise linguística dos termos, na perspetiva da variação terminológica. Procura-se demonstrar que a variação terminológica existente entre diferentes comunidades discursivas afeta de diferentes formas a terminologia e o dinamismo terminológico de um dado domínio, com implicações na mediação comunicativa. Recorrendo aos domínios da Dieta Mediterrânica e da Aquacultura, apresenta-se uma perspetiva sobre o discurso especializado e sobre o conceito de especialista baseado no referencial teórico da ecolinguística, na tentativa de abranger domínios onde as comunidades tradicionais desempenham, potencialmente, o papel de especialistas. A abordagem ecolinguística é aplicada principalmente na identificação das comunidades discursivas relevantes no domínio e nas suas relações discursivas. Em termos de metodologia de análise, recorre-se aos princípios da terminologia textual. Dá-se destaque à organização dos corpora especializados tendo em vista uma melhor compreensão das origens da variação terminológica, em particular, diastrática e diacrónica. A análise de dados terminológica, efetuada sob dois corpora organizados com base nos contextos comunicativos identificados, mostra que os dois domínios estudados apresentam características distintas em relação aos fenómenos de dinamismo e variação terminológica. A análise da variação diacrónica mostra que as causas podem radicar em fatores de ordem diastrática. A influência dos fatores de ordem diastrática na terminologia do domínio pode manifestar-se sob a forma de variação denominativa, mas apresentar outras formas de expressão que devem ser estudadas e aprofundadas. Conclui-se que o estudo da variação em terminologia deverá ter em consideração estes aspetos, principalmente fixação de terminologias geradas fora das esferas científicas e técnicas. Neste enquadramento, propõe-se assim um novo conceito de especialista. Espera-se, com este trabalho, contribuir para uma abordagem ecolinguística à terminologia e ao estudo da variação terminológica, assumindo uma intenção de preservação e salvaguarda do património cultural e linguístico, bem como de planeamento de políticas de língua mais justas e sustentáveis.
This thesis falls within the scope of sciences of language and terminology, understood as a communicative mediation activity, emphasizing the linguistic analysis of terms concerning terminological variation. It seeks to analyses how terminological variation between different discursive communities affects the terminology of a domain and its dynamics, with implications in communicative mediation activities. Working with the domains of Mediterranean Diet and Aquaculture, it presents a perspective on specialized discourse and on the concept of specialist, based on the theoretical framework of ecolinguistics. This aims to encompass domains where traditional communities play the role of specialists as well. The ecolinguistic approach is primarily applied in identifying discursive communities within the domain, and their discursive relationships. In terms of methodology of analysis, the principles of textual terminology are applied. Emphasis is placed on the organization of specialized corpora aimed to a better understanding of the origins of terminological variation, particularly, diastratic and diachronic variation. The terminological data analysis from two corpora, organized according to identified communicative contexts, shows that the two studied domains exhibit distinct characteristics in relation to the phenomena of dynamism and terminological variation. Diachronic variation analysis suggests that its causes may be rooted in diastratic factors. The influence of diastratic factors on the terminology of the domain is not only present as denominative variation, but they affect the terminology of the domains in other ways that should be further studied. The thesis concludes that the study of terminological variation should consider these factors, especially on the fixation of terminologies generated outside the scientific and technical spheres. In this context, a definition for a new concept of specialist is proposed. Therefore, this thesis aims to contribute to an ecolinguistic approach to terminology and the study of terminological variation, assuming an intention of preserving and safeguarding cultural and linguistic heritage, as well as planning fairer and more sustainable language policies.
