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…
While symmetry has often been characterized as a central property of human language, there are a wide variety of asymmetries that emerge in prominent positions ((cf. Beckman 1999, Becker 2009, Becker et alii. 2012, Topintzi 2010). Beckman (1999) argues that in prominent positions, featural contrasts are rarely neutralized, and treats this fact with a theory of positional faithfulness couc…

The present study seeks to investigate the statue of nasal vowels in Portuguese, a topic that raises discussions between two main current hypotheses, the biphonemic hypothesis (CÂMARA JR., 1970; CAGLIARI, 1977; DUARTE & TEIXEIRA, 1979; LOPEZ, 1979; MATEUS & D'ANDRADE, 2000; BISOL 2002; and BATTISTI, 2014) and the monophonemic hypothesis (LÜDTKE, 1953; LEITE, 1974 apud CALLOU & LEITE, 1990…

This proposal consists of the divulgation of the project DACILAT (Process 22/09158-6), from IEL-Unicamp, via the publication of three products: the first one presenting the project in general terms, the second one focusing on Kadiwéu language and the third one focusing on Nheengatu language, while also containing information about the future of the project.

The aim of this project is to analyze the decreasing oral diphthongs in São Tomé and Príncipe Portuguese (PSTP). Therefore, based on processes such as monophthongization, vocalization and diphthongization, we will evaluate the effects of acoustic dispersion and positional prominence on the phenomena quoted. Based on a corpus of spontaneous speech collected in São Tomé and Príncipe, which …

This project aims to study some new trends in Brazilian Portuguese (BP) grammar concerning the verb endings ear and iar which conjugations might be undergoing the process of neutralization. In verb ending ear, whenever the vowel [e] is stressed, occurs an epenthesis of [j] between the vowels (/mape.o/, [maÈpej.] - 'I map it') and in unstressed positions the vowel is often raised to [i] (…
We attempt to show how the architecture of grammar proposed in Distributed Morphology (Embick and Noyer, 2001) can shed a light on the notion of grammaticalization. The employment of such a view of the architecture of grammar allows us to broaden the treatment of this notion in the framework of Generative Grammar (Roberts & Rousseau 2003). (AU)
