Verb Raising in Romance Languages; Grammar teaching at Basic Education; Portuguese Teacher Training.My research is mainly conducted within the Cartographic version of the Principles-andParameters Theory of Generative Grammar. My current project of research, entitled “Verb Raising and the Architecture of the Clause in Angolan and Mozambican Portuguese: a Cartographic Approach,”, supported by FAPESP, aims at determining the position taken by different forms of the thematic verb in the varieties of African Portuguese. This project is tightly connected to an investigation developed with high school students, supported by FAEPEX (PIBIC-EM), which aims at introducing them to a “scientific” methodology of research, namely the methodology of Generative Grammar.
I am also interested in Grammar teaching at Basic Education and Portuguese teacher training.
