Terminologia da Radiação Solar: elaboração de um glossário bilíngue (português-francês)

Abstract

This article aims to describe the process of elaborating a bilingual (Portuguese-French) glossary of Solar Radiation terms, presenting the compilation of specialized corpus of study, the collection of terms, the comparison of descriptive traits in the search for equivalences and the writing of the micro and macrostructureof the dictionary. The terminology of Solar Radiation —subarea of Photovoltaic Solar Energy —is characterized as multidisciplinary: it has its own terms and also terms borrowed from other fields of knowledge. Identifying these terminological units and searching for their equivalents in other languages for terminological purposes are necessary tasks to assist professionals and apprentices of the field, as well as translators of technical documents, since, with the increasingly widespread use of Photovoltaic Solar Energy, the translation of books and technical manuals, contracts and advertisements —which bring with them Solar Radiation terms, begin to be part of the works demand ofthe Brazilian translator. For this study, we used the concepts of the Communicative Theory of Terminology (CABRÉ1999), the tools of Corpus Linguistics, speciallyAntConc (ANTHONY2014) and the method called textual matches (DUBUC1985) to search for synonymy and equivalence relations.
