Abstract

This research aimed to collect the terms of the Brazilian environmental licensing and offer their equivalents in English. We used two corpora,in Portuguese and in English. It is based on the assumptions of the Communicative Terminology Theory (CABRÉ1999a), ofCorpus Linguistics (SARDINHA2004) and on the concept of functional equivalence (GÉMAR1998; ŠARČEVIĆ1997). We analyzed corpora with AntConc program (ANTHONY2014), andthe support of the domain tree and the environmental licensing flowcharts developed. We validated 371 terms of the environmental licensing domain. Given the legal and cultural differences between the selected languages, evidenced in the terminology studied, it wasnot possible to offer a functional equivalent for all terms, reinforcing the need to continue the research.
