Paula Roberta Gabbai Armelin

I am a Professor of Linguistics at Federal University of Juiz de Fora since 2015. I received a PhD in Linguistics from the University of São Paulo in 2015, investigating the morphosyntactic structure of diminutive and augmentative in Brazilian Portuguese and its relation to grammatical gender. During my PhD, I was a visiting student at Queen Mary University of London (Sep/2013-Aug/ 2014), where I worked under the supervision of Professor Hagit Borer. I received a Master in Linguistics from the University of São Paulo in 2011, investigating the argument structure of ditransitive sentences. I am the leading researcher of the INTEGRA-UFJF, a research group focused on the theory of grammar in a generative perspective. I am also a member of the NEALP-UFJF, a research group focused on Psycholinguistics and Language Acquisition. My research focuses on the description and analysis of morphological, syntactic and morphosyntactic aspects of natural languages within the generative approach to the study of the human language. I am also interested on the relation between Language Theory and Psycholinguistics. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
