This paper proposes an ethno terminological study of selected lexical units from Paulo Jacob's work Chuva Branca (1968), presenting an analysis that highlights their importance for the Amazonian riverside culture. The prevailing argument is that the corpus, inserted in the specific reality presented in Chuva Branca, is strongly culturally marked and capable of interfering in the behaviors of individuals and their daily practices. Subliminal to the analysis are theoretical conceptions from the Lexical Sciences (VILELA, 1994; BIDERMAN, 1981, 2001; and, specifically, from the Ethnoterminology (BARBOSA, 2005; 2006). Other authors support reflections on the literary work (SOUZA, 2015; COUTINHO, 1978). Regarding the Amazonian aspects, the main contributions were Schontag?s (2015) and Peixoto?s (2009). The results of the research reinforce the solid connection between lexicon and culture, and the ethnoterms as carriers of shared knowledge and symbols of quotidian issues of the Amazon riverside people.
