Toponymic entry: Microstructures for hydronyms

The object of study of Toponymy are toponyms, seen from different perspectives such as their origin, meaning, changes, and categorization. This paper will present the proposal of three microstructure models for toponymic entries based on the theoretical assumptions of Toponymy and Terminography: one for entries whose input word designate concepts related to hydrographic elements and key concepts of the toponymic set, another for the constitution of entries that have as input word the toponymic phrases and a third remissive. The corpus that served as basis for the formulation of the models was the repertoire of lexical units that designate the name of the geographic elements referring to water, brook, bay, headland, cable, waterfall, channel, cataract, corixao, corixo, stream, estuary, lake, lagoon, spring, dam, creek, stream, creek, river, sanga, ebb and curve. These hydronyms were obtained from the Atlas Toponimico do Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul - ATEMS. The proposed microstructures may be an option to subsidize the development of toponymic dictionaries that, in addition to registering proper names with their respective location and causes that motivate their nomination, also contribute to the rescue and social, historical and cultural registration of a region.
