Glossário terminológico da linguagem policial militar em Tomé-Açu/Pa

Abstract

This work focuses on the scope of linguistics about the specific languages of certain work functions, seeking to promote an analysis of terminological formulations that occur in professional environments. In this context, its central objective is to survey terms used by military police officers in the city of Tomé-Açu, a municipality located in the interior of Pará, with a view to building a glossary. The theoretical framework used makes use of the assumptions of Krieger and Finatto (2004) and Faulstich (2001) regarding terminological studies, since these authors work with the initial theories of how languages can change according to a given craft. Regarding the police sphere, it is based on Petri and Medeiros (2013) and Souza (2015) on the development of terminological glossaries. The methodological procedures include, in the first stage, bibliographical research. In the second stage, the preparation and application of a questionnaire to 30 police officers, referring to the Q code and the phonetic alphabet used by these professionals. Results indicate 24 examples such as: QAP (listening/readiness); QTC (message); QSL (understood); QRX (please wait), among other examples. The analysis shows that although military police officers recurrently use the codes found in the sample, these indicators are little known outside the military environment. In this way, through this work, we seek to reach the largest number of abbreviations possible to build the glossary.
