DA SILVEIRA GUEDES, Vânia Lisbôa  y  VELOSO DA COSTA SANTOS, Maria José. DEVERBAL NOMINALIZATION RECURRENCE IN THE ABSTRACTS OF SCIENTIFIC LETTERS IN PORTUGUESE LANGUAGE AND THE SUBJECT INDEXING. Lingüística [online]. 2013, vol.29, n.1, pp.37-57. ISSN 2079-312X.

The study investigates the recurrence of deverbal nominalization in the abstracts of scientific letters in Portuguese language from the files of the scientist Bertha Lutz. The study aims to estimate the degree of productivity of nominalizations and to observe their index role. The study is situated between the Linguistics and Information Science and intends to contribute to the indexing refinement. The hypothesis is that the nominalizations in -ção prevail in the lexicon of scientific letters as relevant index. The theoretical framework used was the genre analysis, academic discourse and lexical theory, in the Sociolinguistics, and indexing within Information Science. The abstracts were processed by RankWords 2.0 software. A list of word frequency was obtained. It was confirmed the adequacy of Zipf’s Laws and Goffman Transition Point. The results point out to the recurrence of nominalizations in -ção with high semantic content in Goffman T Region and confirm the established hypothesis
