BA from Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (1982), master's on Linguistics from Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (1988) and Ph.d. on Linguistics from Universidade Estadual de Campinas (1999), was a visiting researcher at the University of Maryland (2001-2002), UMass (Amherst) in 2010 and University of Chicago (2013 and 2017). Senior Professor at the Universidade Estadual de Campinas. Main research interests include acquisition of syntax and the grammar of Brazilian Portuguese, mainly ellipses and the nominal grammar in non-standard Brazilian Portuguese from a formal framework.

The research project entitled "Identity and licensing of ellipsis in view of Brazilian Portuguese 'quem nunca?' constructions" aims to investigate ellipsis phenomena in view of Brazilian Portuguese 'quem nunca?' expressions, used in a context in which an individual X utters a statement such as 'A Maria ficou muito bêbada na festa da Paula' ('Mary got really drunk at Paula's party') and an…
This study aims at adapting Crain and McKee's experiment (1985) to Brazilian Portuguese (BP), in order to observe the acquisition of structures with backward anaphora in this language, based on the Theory of Principles and Parameters (Chomsky, 1981, 1986). To achieve this goal, we will study the theory in question and studies about experimental methodology on both English and BP. The adap…
This research project aims to investigate the computational and linguistic implications of the changes to Berwick's (1985) acquisition model proposed in Faria (2009). The theoretical framework is the generative grammar, in a broader sense (ie., beyond the Chomskian perspective), although the starting point to the issues discussed here are the proposals of Chomsky (1957 and later). The und…
Our aim in this project if to analyze cases of low ellipsis, such as VP-ellipsis, and not so low ones, as TP-ellipses in different languages. We will associate ellipsis with phase theory, assuming Boakovi's (2013) proposal for phases. To achieve our aim, we will examine the nature of the aspectual head in languages which license VP-ellipsis and those that do not, under the hypothesis that…
Our aim is to examine the syntactic licensing conditions of "low" ellipses in Brazilian Portuguese (BP). We take "low" ellipses here as cases involving the deletion of some vP-VP material. We also intend to examine what features license "low" ellipses in some languages, while banning them in others. That's the case of VP ellipsis in Portuguese as compared to other Romance languages. We wi…
