Elaboração de <i>corpora</i> para estudo terminológico

This article is an excerpt from the methodology used to build and prepare the corpora for a master’s study of terminological harmonization between the variants spoken in Brazil and Portugal as members of the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP) in terms used to enter higher education. The aim is to present the methodology developed using Corpus Linguistics and the software tool used to build the study's corpora, the Sketch Engine. At the end, the article discusses some of the results achieved, such as the use of different terms to name stages of education in the countries and the indication of erroneous terms by the software, which reinforces the indispensability of human work in filtering the data provided by the machine.
