Dr. Michelle Sheehan's visit will consist of weekly meetings with the participants of the Thematic Project to which this application is linked. The discussions will be on parameter setting, the area of expertise of the visiting professor. Besides that, Prof. Sheehan will teach a mini-course on the same topic, focusing on micro and macro parameters. She will also contribute to the plans of…
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…
Dr. Reintges s visit will consist of weekly meetings with the proponent to discuss data concerning syntactic change of Brazilian Portuguese and Egyptian; participation in Theses/Dissertations committees; teaching of a Graduate Course on Minimalist Diachronic Syntax, with emphasis on micro and macroparametric change; writing up of a joint research project to be submitted to international …
The study on analytization in Brazilian Portuguese (BP), that is, the preference for a periphrastic form over the synthetic form, has been an research theme revisited by some author under the syntax field (cf. Cyrino, 2013; Reinters & Cyrino, 2018; Araújo-Adriano, 2019a). Among the structural properties explored by these researchers, analyticization features significant changes in the par…
Although the study of focussing adverbs has been approached in Generative Syntax at least since Chomky (1971) (cf. Bayer 1990, 1996, Longobardi 1992, Zubizarreta 1998, Kayne 1998, Krifka 2007, Ambar 2008, Shu 2011, Munaro 2012, a.o.), none of these proposals attempted to establish the position that focussing adverbs from different semantic classes (e.g., even, only) occupy in the structur…
This project has the aim of investigating a new possibility for the use of negation in Brazilian Portuguese (henceforth, BP): the negative marker (hereafter 'low não') may appear in the slot between the auxiliary and the lexical (non-finite) verb in perfect and progressive periphrases. The relevance of this research lies in the fact that no other Romance language, as far as I know, has th…
This research project aims to pursue my ongoing research on the present tense analyticization in Brazilian Portuguese, a change from the synthetic eu faço ('I do') to the analytic eu estou fazendo ('I am doing'), under a Parameter Hierarchy-based approach. I intend to refine and deepen my analysis already under development in Brazil, especially concerning the morphosyntax of the language,…
A recurring observation in the study of object realization in some Romance languages is the fact that animacy features seem to determine the form of the object: a pronoun, a clitic, a null object. In this research I propose to investigate that topic, focusing on phenomena that involve animacy and that have been observed separately in the literature on Romance languages: Differential Objec…
