Resumo
This research focuses on the toponymic studies and aims to describe and analyze the origin
of the names, morphological and semantic of designatory toponyms of the hydrography of
Pires do Rio-GO city, to identify the relations between these designative places and their
respective contextual factors which may, by chance, contain indications of toponymic
motivation. The research of the toponyms was done by means of official documents, maps of
the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and Mauro Borges Institute (IBM)
on a scale of 1: 100,000 and topographic maps. The research is documentary based, in a
qualitative and quantitative approach, the research method is the onomasiological method
combined with other methods, which consists of the study of designations with the purpose of
studying the various names attributed to a concept. The analysis of this research’s corpus took
place after the survey of the 46 toponyms of the watercourses, from which 15 are analyzed in
this study. In this sense, it is assumed that the toponymic sign is motivated, once
extralinguistic factors influence the nominator in the act of naming, in the perspective that the
language outlines reality in its own way (Sapir-Whorf), and the language itself is a depository
of culture, thus, toponyms reveal socio-historical-cultural factors of the place that names it.
The history and geography of Pires do Rio-GO city was the basis for the analyzes, which on
the onomasiological bases show that the place and its physical and social characteristics
influence the nominator in the moment of the toponym baptism. To perceive naming and
nominator relationships are factors that are revealed through the taxonomic classifications,
noticing at the same time that the origin of the names and their morphological structure
reveals the contextual factors that are impregnated in the toponymy of the language / culture
/ environment, aspects from the point of view of who appointed it.
