PhD in Linguistics from the University of São Paulo (USP) and an internship period at the University of Connecticut (UConn). Master in Linguistics and Bachelor in Letters (with specializations in Portuguese and Linguistics) also from USP. I am interested in research in Generative Syntax and its interfaces with Semantics, Morphology, and Phonology. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Lebeaux (1988) argued that some of the idioms formed by verb + direct object have frozen determinants, while others prohibit them. These two groups also present a contrast regarding the possibility of passivization: idioms without determinants passivize freely, while those with frozen determinants resist this operation. Bruening (2010) and Bruening et. al (2018), on the other hand, propos…
There is a consensus in the generative literature that the null subject of Brazilian Portuguese does not behave like its counterpart in standard pro-drop languages. This project examines from an experimental perspective two approaches to this null subject: the analysis in terms of topic chain (Modesto 2000, 2011) and the analysis in terms of movement (Ferreira 2000, Rodrigues 2004, Nunes …
The literature on idioms points to the possibility of grouping them according to their degree of frozenness. After building a corpus of idiomatic VPs in Brazilian Portuguese (BP), we applied the syntactic operations used by Nunberg, Sag and Wasow (1994) to differentiate two groups of idioms and we observed that BP idioms are more restrictive than their English counterparts. We also found …
