... has as main objective the systematization, organization and structuration of the vocabulary of the Molecular Genetics. To undertake such task, the following stages were necessary: elaboration of a corpus of research, formed by authentic material that reflected the area with larger correction; removal of the representative terminological units of the domain, based on linguistic, pragmatic and typographical criteria as: morphologic character (with specialized meaning inside the knowledge field), syntactic conditioning (coherence and the commutation), degree of cohesion and syntactic fixation of the terms, proximity of explanatory comments, degree of lexicalization of the term, univocal relation with the specialized concept that is assigned (monosomy), typographical artifices, contextual analysis, election of adequate types of documentation and also verification of precise statistics of the different levels of language; analysis of the morphosyntactic constitution of the chosen units, through the inquiry of its content and its syntactic characteristics, as well as of its functioning in context, examination that presented interesting characteristicsprefixes (bio-) and suffixes (-oma) characterizing the area, notable presence in the composition of general language (-agem, -ção, -mento) in the nomination of methods and techniques of work, predominance of syntagmatic compositions (with 69% of the formations) and superiority of composition Greek-Latin in the derivations and cultured compositions; and finally, the elaboration of a structure of concepts that could evidence the meaning relations that were established between the concepts of the area, work that contributed to the knowledge of the composition of the terminological units, since the same ones can be expressed in instructions for the correct allocation of a term in a specific semantic field. Finally, this work is intended to be extended, a posteriori, in form of reference for pupils and researchers of Molecular Genetics, cooperating with science in its learning and spreading.
