(1) Three meetings with Prof. Dr. José Marcos Macedo (October 11, 18, and 25) with a view to forwarding the joint project "Divine Epithets in the Rig Veda: a Survey", which is linked to two further projects supported by FAPESP: "Noun as Epithet in Greek and Indo-European Religious Language" (2014/18996-8) and "Divine Epithets in Pausanias and in the Orphic Hymns: a Survey" (2015/50237-2);…
The project will concentrate on the study of the divine epithets (or epicleses) attested in Pausanias and in the collection of the so-called Orphic Hymns. It is our aim to give an exhaustive account of every epiclesis within this corpus and analyze the most interesting examples in religious and linguistic terms, searching for parallels in epigraphic, lexicographic, and literary texts. As …
In Greek religious language, there is a pattern of divine epithet use consisting in the apposition of a noun - and not an adjective - to the deity's name. A few examples: Aphrodite Psithuros 'Whisper', Demeter Homonoia 'Concord', Artemis Eupraxia 'Welfare', Athena Nike 'Victory', Zeus Keraunos 'Lightning Bolt', Apollo Koruthos 'elm'. This type of noun apposition is of Indo-European age, …

This project aims to investigate the third person imperatives with modal deontic meaning in Sophocles and Aristophanes. Based on the classification proposed by Denizot (2011: 154-63), all of the occurrences of third person imperatives in these two ancient authors were analysed, in order to identify them as one of the three presented categories: an order to a third party, an order to the a…
This project has the purpose of studying the usage of the definite article with proper names in Classical Greek. To do so, we will examine two authors of that period: Herodotus and Thucydides. Furthermore, we present a work from the 20th century and three of the 21st to present a broad view of the studies on that subject. The grammars, the syntax manuals and the monography of the 20th cen…
In order to verify the results and hypotheses raised in previous researches, this project aims to compile data for constructions of infinitive complementation in Ancient Greek at which a secondary predicate inside the infinitive clause refers to an oblique constituent (in genitive or dative) of the matrix clause, and assess which factors - syntactic, semantic or pragmatic - favor the agre…
This project aims at the investigation of the terms gambrós and pentherós - kinship terms that indicate affines from a masculine perspective - in their occurrences from the eighth century BC to the fourth century BC, regarding three aspescts: etymology, semantics and pragmatics. Previous works which study kinship terminology in protoindo-european will help to establish the origin and a br…
Following the research done during my master's degree, this research proposal aims to locate, count, describe and explain synchronically the presence and absence of the conjunction ut in substantive subjunctive clauses that complement, in Plautus, verbs of a predefined set of semantic categories. I will consider: verbs of ordering and commanding, etc.; verbs of begging, requesting, etc.; …
The Corpus Hermeticum is a collection attributed to Hermes Trismegistus composed of 18 brief treatises of pedagogical-sapiential character, written around the I-III centuries A.D. Alternating between religion, mysticism and philosophical speculation, these texts deal with the creation of the world, the human conduct and its ontological potential. I intend to study the representative struc…

After having compiled all the data necessary to our research and started the evaluation of the hypotheses made by grammarians and researchers on the behaviour of Ancient Greek case attraction on infinitive clauses, it became clear that a more robust theoretical framework was needed for presenting a proper linguistic explanation of the phenomenon. Some methodological and theoretical approa…
The aim of this project is to further the investigation already in course in the main project in Brazil, using the same methods, notably the gathering of tokens of subjunctival complementation of facio and uolo, its general distribution between juxtaposed and with-ut tokens, called here quantitative analysis, and then a qualitative analysis regarding morpho-syntactical context, register, …
This project is part of a master's degree research about the use of voces magicae in the Greek Magical Papyri entitled "Voces Magicae: the power of words in the Greek Magical Papyri"1. The voces magicae, apparently meaningless words with a magical function, are a common feature in this collection of magical texts from the Greco-Roman Egypt. The original project analyzes their use concerni…
