Abstract

The aim of this project is to describe the portuguese-based creole languages of Sao Tome(saotomense) & Principe (principense) Islands. Besides, the Project will make easy to start a group of Creolistic studies at University of Sao Paulo, which includes undergradute students as well as graduate (pós-graduandos) students. Indeed, there are few scholars working on Creole languages in Brazil (officilay only one in Brasilia) and this Project intends to change this. (AU)
