Resumo
This study investigated the lexicon used in mining, having as research field the city of Três
Ranchos – Goiás, where the activity had its peak between 1944 and 1981. Regarding the
subjects of our research, thirteen people where interviewed, from which ten are former
miners, one a miner‘s wife, a provider and a dweller who lived directly with miners in their
childhood, all of them aging about sixty-eight years old, except the latter, who is forty-eight.
The choice for the mining vocabulary comes from the fact that the mining practice served as a
great contribution for the process of formation of the city early in the twentieth century,
because the miners were concentrated nearby Parnaíba River that crossed the city.
Handcrafted mining is the activity from which most of the dwellers used to take their
livelihood, which resulted in the settlement of the town, mainly after the intersection of the
railroad, because after it the miners came even from the states of Mato Grosso and Bahia.
Regarding the corpus, it was constituted through the lexical items which selection was
performed from the transcribed interviews and that, after the consultation in dictionaries, like
Houaiss and Villar (2009), Bluteau (1712-1728), Carvalo (1916) and Nascentes (1966), we
made sure of the specificity of the vocabulary. At last, we made the analysis of these items
based on the discussion about the relation between lexicon and culture, as well as those which
regard the aspects concerning the motivation of the linguistic sign. Regarding the analysis
method and the semantic description of the lexical units we used the theory of the lexical
fields developed by Eugenio Coseriu (1977) and Horst Geckeler (1976). Thus, we believe that
we contributed both for the studies carried in the Lexicology area, and for the historiography
of the mentioned city.
