I have experience in the area of Linguistics with emphasis on Semantics and Language Contact. I pay particular attention to the formal studies in Semantics (Formal Semantics). I had also developed an epistemological comparison of different linguistic levels of theories involving indexicals (deixis and demonstratives) and defined descriptions. Currently, I am focused on phenomena involving contact and linguistic variation. I am especially interested in linguistic phenomena produced by Brazilians through migration movements to non-Portuguese language contexts, such as, for example, the Dekasegi Portuguese (Brazil and Japan). I am also particularly interested in the development of Creolistics: in particular, in Portuguese-based Creole languages or Pidgins. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

This project aims to investigate the so-called "descriptive indexicals" which are indexical items that have an interpretation similar to that of defined descriptions. Such an interpretation and availability go against the main theories about indexicals items to consider them as items directly referential, based on original ideas by Kaplan (1989). As an example of descriptive indexical, we…
In his work, Demonstratives (1989), David Kaplan says that indexicals and demonstratives always refer directly to individuals, and that an individual is a propositional contribution of an indexical, assuring his referential rigidity. Although, the kaplanian theory have being very influent in the Formal Semantic field, mostly because of its range and elegance, it has suffered some criticis…
