Rhythmic Patterns
Parameter Setting
&
Language Change
The primary goal of the project is to model up the relationship between
prosody and syntax in the process of language change which led from Classical
Portuguese to Modern European Portuguese. Beyond the specific results of the
linguistic and mathematical research which will be developed within this
project, it will also produce :
- The Tycho Brahe Parsed Corpus of Historical Portuguese,
consisting of texts written by Portuguese authors born between 1550
and 1850.
- a Comparative Tagged Corpus of Spoken Modern European Portuguese and
Brazilian Portuguese, consisting of categorized recorded registers from
speakers of both dialects.
