Abstract

This project aims to deepen the research on linguistic elements of Brazilian Portuguese and standard Italian (Italian standard and neostandard) in order to prepare a comparative Italian-Portuguese grammar for Brazilians to be published by EDUSP. To carry out this research it is desirable to have access to works of the Italian university libraries and to work together with a specialist in Italian language and didactics.
