The theme of this dissertation falls within the line of research Translation and Sociodiscursive Practices, developed in the Translation Studies Program - POSTRAD, at the University of Brasília. The object of study are the terms and term signs from the area of History used in bilingual assessment processes (Portuguese-Libras), with the aim of proposing a bilingual glossary of the Portuguese – Libras language pair. To this end, we have the following specific objectives: i. describe the teaching of History to the Deaf; ii. identify the processes and theories used to organize glossaries in sign language and iii. Analyze how the term signs are registered in translation based on semantic studies. To achieve the objectives, the methodological path collected terms and term signs from the ENEM tests (National High School Exam) and the bilingual entrance exams at UFSC (Federal University of Santa Catarina), both from the years 2017, 2018 and 2019, both in written Portuguese and in Libras through Videoproof. Thus, starting from the search for the most used terms in the Portuguese test, we looked for the term signs translated in the Libras video tests. To catalog the most frequent terms and term signs in the database (written tests and Video tests), an inventory of the lexicon of the History area was created using knowledge and experience as a bilingual teacher, manually. We used resources that corpus linguistics offers, such as the Antconc program, with terms in Portuguese, to provide a basis and security in the survey. The entire work was theoretically based on the Communicative Theory of Terminology (TCT) by Maria Tereza Cabré (1995) and also Socioterminology based on Faulstich (2006). The analysis of terms and term signs in the History area sought the principles of bilingual Terminology (TUXI, 2017) for better conceptualization and clarity when translating this linguistic pair (Portuguese/Libras), as well as in bilingual History teaching ( with an educational interpreter or bilingual teacher), examining some linguistic variations and lexical ambiguities found in the research. Finally, using the terms and term signs collected, a bilingual Portuguese/Libras de História glossary was created, launched on an online platform (website: https://glossariohistoria-libras.fly.dev/), with the aim of and as specific objectives of providing new information, generating and producing knowledge that brings improvements to the area of translation and teaching sign language.
