Drawing on the vast experience of the researchers of the three partner institutions in field work, language documentation, corpus linguistics, computational linguistics, and computer science, our main goal in this project is to build a digital platform to accommodate oral corpora for South American endangered languages. Oral corpora serve as an essential empirical foundation for linguisti…
This project seeks funds to invite Prof. Cristina Schmitt, from Michigan State University, to visit the Institute of Language Studies of the University of Campinas, from January 6 to July 5, 2014. Cristina Schmitt has been working for many years in acquisition and syntax-semantics properties of noun phrases from a comparative point of view. Her visit is closely tied to the thematic projec…
The main goal of this project is to revisit the history of Portuguese, from the 15th to the 20th century, in Portugal and in the Brazil-Africa axis, through a comparative approach based on the notion of parameter, as it is developed in the minimalist version of Chomsky's Principle and Parameter Theory. To attain our goal, we'll make use of the syntactically annotated texts available in th…

Based on the theory of generative grammar, this research will seek to study the evolution of brazilian portuguese syntax having as object of study the phenomenon of the null subject since the 17th century, a much debated issue in linguistics since the postulation by Chomsky (1981) of the pro-drop parameter. The theme gained prominence in Brazilian Portuguese (BP) due to the peculiarities …
This research seeks to investigate the variation between que and o que as interrogative pronouns throughout the history of Portuguese. The objective is to find hypotheses for the entry of o que in Portuguese, as well as to analyze the syntactic and textual contexts in which the structure appears more frequently through time. The corpus of this research is composed of the parsed texts from…
This project studies the evolution of portuguese syntax in the unexplored corpus of letters and acts produced by good men from the Municipal Chamber of Salvador between the 17th and 18th centuries. We will compare the texts written by Brazilians and Portuguese, born between 1580 and 1719, in order to verify if the texts produced by Brazilians show some change in relation to Modern Europea…
This project aims to investigate the use of the definite article before anthroponyms in varieties of Brazilian Portuguese. The research will follow the theoretical framework of the Minimalist Program (Chomsky 1995), and use methodological tools of labovian base variationist sociolinguistics. The hypothesis to be defended by the project, along the lines proposed in Longobardi (1994), it is…
The goal of this project is to map the syntactic and discursive contexts in which null subjects appear in opposition to lexical personal pronouns in European Portuguese from the 16th to the 19th centuries, on the basis of 16 texts of the Tycho Brahe Corpus. The use of null subjects in the history of European Portuguese was already studied, but there are no specific studies on the contexts…

This research project has as its main goal the study and application of Tree Adjoining Grammar (Joshi & Schabes, 1991) based formalisms to the problem of inconsistency detection in syntactically annotated corpora. The goal is to move from what I call a "naive approach" - where a poor or even no theoretical interpretation of the annotation is carried out - to an informed "theoretical appro…
This project aims at studying the use of Fronting Constructions (Topicalization, Left Dislocation and their subtypes) in the history of French. This goal arises from the bigger interest of building a comparative analysis for the diachronic evolution of marked constructions in the history of Romance languages. From previous research undertaken in the scope of the postdoctoral project and t…
