A terminologia das redes sociais no Brasil: etapas metodológicas

Abstract

This paper presents the methodological steps used in the Project named “Social Networks’ terminology in Brazil” (TERMIREDES). These steps were developed to record the terms present in tutorials of social networks. To this end, we have based our research on the theoretical and methodological Terminology conceptions, discipline whose main object of study is the term. We have used notions by Krieger (2004) for the development of the analytical proposition. This author considers that the terminological analysis of a given area includes the way in which the specialized lexicons are constituted, as well as the adoption of a methodological criterion to guide the recognition of the terminology of specialized areas that do not have a systematization in Brazilian Portuguese. We present as a result a model of the terminology entry developed for this research project.
