Terminologia técnico-administrativa: os termos no espaço público brasileiro

Abstract

This paper has the objective of describing constitutive principles of terminological repertories divulged by public administration organs of Brazil, as ministries and regulation agencies. Those organs are divulging glossaries with terms and its respective concepts of their field of work. Though fragmentally, Brazil has an “official” terminology. It is of the interest to the Terminology studies to identify the constitution of those terminological sets that are part of a category of terms, here denominated “technical-administrative”. It is about a hybrid terminological constitution that is described and exemplified. It is concluded that the terminology of public administration constitutes a category of specialized lexicon, with its own identity, that is summed to the scientific, legal and technological domains. Its organization links to the principle and missions of the country’s administrative organs.
