    VP - Ellipsis Comprehension in European and Brazilian Portuguese

    Get PDF
    Ellipses are quite common amongst languages. As Bar ss (2003) points out, ellipsis (as a type of anaphora) involves linguisti c expressions which receive their semantic interpretation “via a depend ency upon an antecedent, rather than from its internal lexical c ontent.” (p. ix) This makes ellipsis in and of itself an interesting topi c for language acquisition research since it is a syntax-discourse phenomenon which implies the development of both formal licensing conditions and identification conditions for convergence. Our aim in this paper is to examine the acquisition of one case of ellipsis, namely, VP ellipsis (VPE), in European Po rtuguese (EP) and Brazilian Portuguese (BP).info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    Processing and acquisition of coreference: an investigation on binding principles development in brazilian portuguese

    Get PDF
    This article discusses the processing and acquisition of coreference by monolingual children acquiring Brazilian Portuguese (henceforth BP). More specifically, it is about the development of the coreferential relations established in the scope of the sentence, which are ruled by the principles defined by the Binding Theory. By using a version of the cross-modal picture decision task, we investigated how children acquiring BP process the input, in order to identify the coreferential relations present in the sentences and what role the binding principles play in this process. The results showed that binding principles pose different processing costs, and they also revealed a main effect of age, with adults being faster than children. No main effect of matching was found, but an interaction effect between principle and matching was found. To sum up, the results of this study showed that, as expected, both children, as well as adults, know the binding principles, however, processing them effectively increases with age. The binding principles also pose different processing demands, as reflected in the reaction times shown in our results84718

    Index-based Approach to Evaluate City Resilience in Flooding Scenarios

    Get PDF
    Intense rainfall events combined with high tide levels frequently result in urban floods in riverine or coastal cities. Their increasing variability and uncertainty demand urgent but sustained responses. Thus, resilience-driven approaches are emerging in contrast to the traditional technical-economic frameworks, as urban resilience reflects the overall capacity of a city to survive, adapt and thrive when experiencing stresses and shocks. This paper presents a simplified index-based methodology for the evaluation and quantification of urban resilience to flooding, based on the works developed in the EU H2020 RESCCUE project. A set of five indicators are proposed to compute the Integrated Urban Resilience Index (IURI), allowing to classify resilience according to a proposed range of rankings. This methodology considers simultaneously a multisectoral approach, reflecting services interdependences, and a sectorial approach, applying 1D/2D computational modelling of the urban drainage network. It was applied to the study case of Lisbon downtown, involving the analysis of interdependencies between 124 infrastructures of 10 urban services. Two scenarios were considered, respecting the current and future situations, considering climate changes. Results enhance the usefulness, practicability, and potential of the proposed approach, and improvement opportunities were also identified for future developments. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091647 Full Text: PD

    SOBRE ARGUMENTOS ASSIMÉTRICOS E ADJUNTOS NA AQUISIÇÃO DO PORTUGUÊS BRASILEIRO

    trata  o  artigo  da  aquisição  de  argumentos  e  adjuntos.  Para  tanto,  foram analisados dados de três crianças brasileiras entre as idades de 1;8 a 3;7. verificou-se uma assimetria na produção de sujeitos e objetos, amplamente discutida na literatura sobre aquisição em diferentes línguas. os adjuntos, por outro lado, são produzidos de forma complexa muito precocemente. Assumimos que relações de complementação e adjunção não colocam problemas para a aquisição, mas especificadores complexos, sim, pois dependem de mecanismos de concordância nem sempre especificados nas gramáticas iniciais

    Pretende-se discutir a proposta de Ribeiro & Cyrino (neste volume) sobre a estrutura do DP no crioulo de Cabo Verde e no português de brasileiros afro-descendentes, comparando os dados das autoras àqueles do português brasileiro urbano atual, especialmente no que diz respeito à presença de nomes nus singulares em posição argumental. Os dados serão também comparados a dados de aquisição da linguagem por crianças brasileiras considerando que, eventualmente, possam ser detectados estágios no processo de desenvolvimento do DP que se assemelhem à variedade dos afro-descendentes do final do século XIX – estudados pelas autoras

    Em 2020, a CEL deu continuidade ao modelo de publicação contínua (PC), proposto por importantes plataformas nacionais e internacionais, que tem se mostrado muito eficaz por atribuir maior dinamicidade ao fluxo editorial. Temos, portanto, apenas um volume anual. Os artigos vão sendo disponibilizados assim que, uma vez aprovados, os autores enviem a versão final devidamente revisada. Instauramos, em 2019, a política de haver um dossiê temático por ano. Neste ano, foi editado por Dirceu Cleber Conde e Renato Miguel Basso, colegas da UFSCar, e versou sobre “Semântica, Pragmática e Sintaxe Formais”. Convidamos os leitores a apreciarem a apresentação do dossiê que conta com 9 artigos, dois dos quais analisando línguas indígenas
