Resumo
O presente trabalho tem como objetivo a investigação do léxico específico da cardiopatia congênita, subárea da Cardiologia, com vistas à elaboração de um dicionário de cardiopatia congênita direcionado para o público leigo (não especialista), o qual contém como entradas unidades lexicais especializadas (ULEs) em língua portuguesa, e que apresenta definições redigidas especificamente para esses usuários. Com o propósito de confeccionar tal dicionário, foi elaborado um corpus formado por textos em português (variante brasileira) da área da cardiopatia congênita, extraídos de sites da Web, capítulos de livros, teses e dissertações, monografias, trabalhos de conclusão de curso, artigos acadêmicos e de divulgação científica, notícias e resumos de artigos científicos e eventos. Para processar e analisar o corpus, foi utilizada a ferramenta WordSmith Tools, amplamente empregada em pesquisas do gênero. A análise da definição lexicográfica e terminográfica, conforme descritas na bibliografia de estudos da área, foi o embasamento para atender aos propósitos do dicionário, partindo da hipótese de que é possível elaborar, mesmo num âmbito especializado, definições de ULEs apropriadas para um leitor não especialista. Com foco na busca de estratégias e de modelos de definição, e com base na revisão bibliográfica realizada, foram eleitas as estratégias mais apropriadas para a redação de nossas definições. O produto lexicográfico conta com 70 verbetes, cada um com uma definição simplificada, exemplo de uso, sinônimos (se encontrados) e remissivas (se necessário).
The aim of the present work is to investigate the lexical items of the area of Congenital Cardiopathy, a subarea of Cardiology, in order to compile a dictionary of Congenital Cardiopathy targeted especially at lay people (non-specialists), containing entries with specialised lexical units (SLUs) in Portuguese, and definitions specifically written for that kind of user. In order to develop the dictionary, a corpus was compiled with texts in Portuguese (Brazilian variety) about congenital cardiopathy extracted from websites, book chapters, theses, monographs, final year dissertations, academic papers, popular science magazines, newspaper articles and abstracts from academic papers and presentations. The software WordSmith Tools, broadly used in similar researches, was adopted to process and analyze the corpus. A study was conducted on lexicographic and terminological definitions as described in Lexicography and Terminology bibliography, looking for a basis to support the dictionary’s purposes, and with the hypothesis that it is possible to develop, even within a specialized field and lexicon, definitions of specialized lexical units appropriate for non-specialized readers. Focusing on search strategies and models of definition, a bibliographic review was conducted, from which the most appropriate strategies for writing our definitions were chosen. The dictionary has 70 entries, each of them with a simplified definition, an example sentence, synonyms (if found) and cross references (if necessary).
