This study seeks to investigate the words that are part of the work of fishing for shellfish whose forms or new meanings - given to existing terms, are not formally in the dictionary. In this context, it identifies the lexical items of this field of work, describes the training processes that involve them, and, finally, discusses the socio-cognitive aspects involved in the formation of such items. Theoretically, it chooses assumptions from Language into Act Theory (CRESTI, 2000), Sociolinguistics (TARALLO, 1986), and Cognitive Linguistics (LAKOFF; JOHNSON, 2002 [1987]). Methodologically, it correlates methodological orientations, both from Corpus Linguistics (SARDINHA, 2004) and Sociolinguistics (TARALLO, 1986). For manipulating the corpus, it uses the concordant AntConc (ANTHONY, 2020). Considering the lexical item highlighted in the Corpus de Trabalho, a fishing balloon, the results show that: (1) it is a neologism; (2) it results from cognitive processes that (1) involve metaphorical extension and polysemy; and, whose lexical creation, (3) operates within the MCI TRABALHO [To Fish].
