Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:The current thesis consists of an onomasiological dictionary project which should contribute to the preservation of the Atchan language and the culture of the Tchaman people. The project aims at providing a model for the macro- and microstructure of the dictionary. Other project goals are the collection of data on the use of the Atchan language (the frequency of use, the domains in which it is used, the interlocutors), the assessment of the threat level of the Atchan language, the description of the current language documentation. To achieve these goals, two tools were used: a questionnaire and UNESCO’s criteria to assess language vitality or endangerment. At the end of the work, it is hoped that the proposed model, the methodology adopted and the research carried out will contribute to the compilation of an onomasiological dictionary in the future and the preservation of Atchan and, consequently, the culture of the Tchaman community.
