From the second half in 20th century, before of the innovations tecno-scientific happened, the world has just seen a large dynamism of the language. This linguistics productivity, created form the man to express and denominate concepts, objects and different knowledge specialization camps, occurs notoriety in the sciences universe and at the distinct professional activities. The science and technology advance requires new denominations to discoveries and innovations that if augment. In this context, the Terminology starts to integrate a development and consolidation universe for the scientific and linguistic knowledge.

The Terminology constitutes a knowledge camp that understands a double face, theoretical and practice, directed to the elaboration of terminology products. Situated at the Terminology camp, the research that we develop had as objective the collection and analysis of specialized units of meaning (USE) aiming to show at the end, the macrosculpture that that could be in the future the nomenclature of a Geography school dictionary directed to students of the four last series of basic education. Form the evidence of the scarcity of similar works at Portuguese Language destined to scholars, became important this task, a time that the theoretical dictionary is consolidated as the main instrument in the storage and the recovery of scientifics facts, as a communication vehicle between specialists and community in general. The Communicative Theory of Terminology was used as theoretical methodological support, a time that if shows the best theory for the theoretical proposal and the terminological written praxis.
