While symmetry has often been characterized as a central property of human language, there are a wide variety of asymmetries that emerge in prominent positions ((cf. Beckman 1999, Becker 2009, Becker et alii. 2012, Topintzi 2010). Beckman (1999) argues that in prominent positions, featural contrasts are rarely neutralized, and treats this fact with a theory of positional faithfulness couc…

This study aims to investigate the motivation of the hiatus resolution phenomenon through epenthesis or V1 raising in the dialects of the State of São Paulo (Brazil) and its effects on the verbal paradigms of the language, in this case, the possible neutralization between verbs ending in "ear" and "iar" caused by the V1 raising from [e] to [i]. An indication of this neutralization is the …
This project is circumscribed by the field of studies on the form and the operation of natural languages and focuses specifically on the subarea that comprises grammars of indigenous languages. Its technical and theoretical objectives are the elaboration of an annotated Yaathe corpus and the analysis of its Case System, respectively. The former will be based on the extension of Tycho Brah…
Inserted in the study of the shape and functioning of natural languages, more specifically in the field of Brazilian Portuguese (BP) phonology studies, this project focuses on the analysis and understanding of some facts involving phonological phenomena of diphthongation and monotongation. Specifically, in the formation of diphthongs from glide epenthesis [j] in stressed syllables ending …
The goal of this project is to investigate two types of complex questions (indirect questions and long-distance questions) in Karitiana (Tupi) and Kadiwéu (Guaikuru). Indirect questions are a subtype of question subordinated to a matrix clause (e.g., "I want to know when you went to the beach."), whereas long-distance questions have an interrogative pronoun as a constituent of the embedde…
This research is a study on diphthongization and monophthongization in Brazilian Portuguese, specifically the formation of diphthongs by the epenthesis of the semivowel [j] in syllables ending with "s" or "z" (eg: vez, ['ves] - [' vejs]), and the reduction of diphthongs [aj], [ej], [ow] and [uw] to a simple vowel through the loss of the glide. The objective is to verify the phonological r…

We attempt to show how the architecture of grammar proposed in Distributed Morphology (Embick and Noyer, 2001) can shed a light on the notion of grammaticalization. The employment of such a view of the architecture of grammar allows us to broaden the treatment of this notion in the framework of Generative Grammar (Roberts & Rousseau 2003). (AU)
