The main objective of this thesis is to propose a model of a terminological onomasiological multilingual dictionary for children, aimed at promoting the indigenous languages. Such dictionary is composed of 258 terms of the Brazilian fauna, categorized into mammals, birds, fish and reptiles, with equivalents in these indigenous languages: Arara, Kadiwéu, Karitiana, Parintintin, Xavante e Zoró. The terms were collected from corpora compiled from dictionaries and vocabularies in the studied languages. The prototype relies on a model of onomasiological terminological dictionary, proposed by Babini (2001a, 2001b), in which the author tackles lexical information retrieval in an onomasiological dictionary. In order to perform onomasiological searches, existing semes in children´s speech were used, in the Portuguese language, which describe animal features. Besides the onomasiological search, the dictionary also allows semasiological searches, traditionally implemented in most electronic dictionaries. The dictionary was developed in an electronic platform that may be used in the future so as to build other eletronic terminological dictionaries.
