| Abstract | |
The trade show sector is of considerable importance in the Brazilian and international economic environment and it is constantly expanding. Therefore, participation in international trade shows has become the gateway for Brazilian products to reach foreign markets through exports. In an MA study (GODOY, 2014) we developed a bilingual glossary (portuguese-english/english-portuguese) of key terms of the trade show sector. Following on from this study, the overall aim of this PhD is to analyze the multilingual terminology (portuguese-english-french-italian) of this sector, more specifically the terms used during the process of preparation, participation and post-show, with the specific goal of compiling a terminological dictionary to be used by professionals, researchers, students of foreign trade and international relations areas as well as translators and interpreters. The study is based on Terminology concepts and principles, specifically the Multilingual Terminology and Terminological Equivalence (DUBUC 1985, 1992), the Communicative Theory of Terminology (CABRÉ, 1993, 1999), Socioterminology (GAUDIN, 1993), with special attention to Terminological Variation (FAUSTICH, 1998, 2001), and Corpus Linguistics (SINCLAIR, 1966; BERBER SARDINHA, 2004). To develop this work, we gathered corpora in portuguese, english, french and italian (books, specialized articles and magazines, market studies of trade shows, guides and manuals for exhibitors, academic papers, trade show manuals produced by public and private agencies and legislation on trade). To collect the terms WordSmith software (version 6.0) developed by Mike Scott (2012) was used and the key terms were stored in terminological records created from Microsoft Access (2010) and SDL MultiTerm (2017). The 311 terms studied in each language were analyzed in their contexts of use and terminological links used in the pursuit and establishment of equivalences in the four languages. This study emphasises the importance of participating in national and international trade shows for the growth of the domestic economy and the expansion of exports and helps professionals who work in this field, researchers, students, translators and interpreters who produce texts and translate from or into the languages of this study.
