Ana Paula is a retired Senior Professor (MS5-2) at the Departamento de Linguística from the Universidade de São Paulo, a Visiting Professor (Titular-E) at the Departamento de Letras from the UFJF and has a Productivity scholarship from CNPq, level 2 (from 2014 a 2017, from 2018 a 2021, from 2021 a 2024 and, again from 2024). She has a degree is Letras from the Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (1988), a Master's degree in Linguistics from the Universidade Estadual de Campinas (1996) and is a PhD in Linguistics from the Universidade Estadual de Campinas (2004). She has been in four long term visits to the University of Calgary (Calgary - 2006-2006), the University College London (London - 2011-2012), the Universidade Estadual de Campinas (CAmpinas - 2017-2018) and the Universidade Feeral de Juiz de Fora (Juiz de Fora - 2023-2024). She has experience in Linguistics, working with formal grammar in the field of Generative Grammar, particularly in Distributd Morphology. She is interested in the interfaces Morphology has with Syntax, Phnology and Semantics and is working with argument structure, syncretism, as well as with the derivation of affixeless deverbal nouns, innovative participles, truncated forms, and adjectives used as adverbs.

The present request aims at obtaining finantial support for the organization of the Academic Visit of Professor Martha McGinnis, from the Departament of Linguistics at the University of Calgary, in canada to the Departament of Linguistics st USP, from the 11th to the 26th of August, 2007. (AU)
With this research project, I aim at investigating the morpho-syntactic and semantic aspects of the deverbal and non-deverbal event nominalizations in Brazilian Portuguese. My intention is to decribe and analyse its formation process and its interpretation in this language. In doing so, I will, mainly, use two theoretical approaches to the architecture of the grammar: Principles and Param…

Distributed Morphology (Halle; Marantz, 1993; DM) is a syntactic theory to the derivation of words and larger constituents that sets aside the Lexicon as a generative component and adopts a reformulation of the Principles and Parameters (Chomsky, 1981) Grammar Architecture. The theoretical model proposes the distribution of the morphological, phonological and semantic properties contained…
The study of nominalizations within the framework of Generative Grammar dates back to the publication of "Remarks on Nominalization" (Chomsky, 1970), which subsequently sparked various investigations on the behavior of this type of formation. However, the investigation of non-affixal deverbal nominalizations in Brazilian Portuguese is still a task to be completed. In particular, the theor…
Nominalizations encompassed in Brazilian Portuguese light verb constructions (LVCs) with the verb 'dar', such as 'dar uma olhada' (to have a look), often considered participial (Scher, 2004; Medeiros, 2008), stand out for their regularity - being even referred to as "nominalizations in -ada", although "their [suffix] realization can be -ada or -ida depending on the thematic vowel applied …

This research project aims at investigating the phenomenon of coordination through the study of coordinated sentences, already widely described and analyzed in the literature (see Ross, 1967; MUNN, 1993; XIMENES, 2002; CHAVES, 2007), and the so-called coordinated compounds (see OLSEN, 2001, 2004;PADROSA-TRIAS, 2010), bringing together these two types of construction. The specific aim is t…
Through the term Passive-Reflexive Syncretism one can understand de insertion of a same morphological mark in reflexive, passive and anti-causative constructions. The phenomenon is considered to be very common within the languages and it has been approached by Generative Theory mainly in two different ways: on one hand, it is said that the syncretism is consequence of a common syntactical…
The main goal of this research is to investigate two Brazilian Portuguese nominals: the dor-nominals and the nte-nominals. The study of such nominals contributes to the analysis and description of Portuguese deverbal nominals in general. Distributed Morphology (Halle & Marantz 1993, Marantz 1997, 2001; henceforth DM) is the framework adopted here. One of the main theoretical assumption of…

This internship program project is a crucial component of my current PhD research on the morphology shared by reflexive, anticausative, passive and other sort of constructions (Passive-Reflexive Syncretism). Many works have provided an empirical and theoretical insufficient account to the phenomenon by analysing the syncretic marks as functional categories. In my current research, through…
The present research project suggests the analysis of truncated forms such as "forasta", a synonym for "forasteiro", in Brazilian Portuguese (PB), or "cafeta", a synonym for "cafeteria", in Peninsular Spanish (EP), under the Distributed Morphology (MD) perspective, a model proposed in Halle & Marantz (1993), and its most recent developments, presented in Siddiqi (2009) and Embick (2010), …
