1. INTONATIONAL EFFECTS ON ENGLISH SCOPALLYAMBIGUOUS SENTENCES
Abstract This paper examines the effect of intonation contour on two types of scopally-ambiguous constructions in English: configurations with a universal quantifier in subject position and sentential negation (e.g., Every horse didn’t jump) and configurations with quantifiers in both subject and object positions (e.g., A girl saw every boy). This was inve

2. Quantificadores flutuantes no português brasileiro / Floating quantifiers in Brazilian Portuguese
Esta pesquisa investiga o comportamento sintático dos quantificadores flutuantes no português brasileiro (PB), dentro do modelo teórico do Programa Minimalista (Chomsky 1995) da Sintaxe Gerativa, buscando atingir dois objetivos principais: (i) identificar as posições na sentença em que os quantificadores podem ou não flutuar e (ii) identificar a estru

3. Técnicas de processamento não linear de sinais aplicadas à investigação de limitações práticas do procedimento de ventilação mecânica não invasiva
Individuals with respiratory system dysfunctions or who are recovering from complex surgeries may have difficulty to sustain spontaneous breathing. The mechanical ventilation is a clinical procedure that supports ventilation until the patient is recovered. Noninvasive mechanical ventilation is especially remarkable as it can be used outside the hospital, in

4. Uma nova abordagem para a noção de quase-verdade / A new approach to the concept of quase-truth
Newton da Costa and his collaborators have introduced the notion of quasi-truth by means of partial structures, and for this purpose, they conceived the predicates as ordered triples: the set of tuples which satisfies, does not satisfy and can satisfy or not the predicate, respectively (the latter represents lack of information). This approach provides a con

5. SOBRE O PAPEL DA LÍNGUA NO DESENVOLVIMENTO DE HABILIDADES COGNITIVAS SUPERIORES: REPRESENTAÇÃO, RECURSIVIDADE E COGNIÇÃO NUMÉRICA / ON THE ROLE OF LANGUAGE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF HIGHER COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS: REPRESENTATION, RECURSION AND NUMERICAL COGNITION
This thesis investigates the possible relationship between two central aspects of the human cognition, namely, the capacity of any child to acquire a natural language (in the absence of neurological or social impairments) and the development of high cognitive abilities, which appear to be specifically human. As far as the latter is concerned, numeral abiliti

6. A Gentzen System for Calculations Partial identity and Open Universes / Um sistema de Gentzen para Cálculos com Identidade Parcial e Universos Abertos
Os sistemas Q1 e Q2, desenvolvidos por Andréa Lopari?, perfazem três principais modificações na semântica clássica: primeiramente, o universo do discurso pode não estar limitado aos objetos que pertencem ao domínio de uma dada estrutura; em segundo lugar, a relação de identidade é determinada como a diagonal desse domínio (assim, tal relação po

7. Morfossintaxe da língua TAPIRAPÉ
This dissertation presents a grammatical description of the Tapirapé language (Tupí-Guaraní family), focusing on its morphosyntax. It comprises seven chapters. Chapter 1 discusses a grammatical phenomenon characterized by the fact that nouns and verbs can both play the syntactic functions of argument and predicate, in addition to sharing morphological pro

8. O quantificador flutuante todos no português brasileiro e no inglês : uma abordagem gerativa
The starting point for the present analysis was the observation, following Sportiche (1988), of a contrast between Brazilian Portuguese, henceforth BP, and English, concerning the positioning of the quantifier all (todos) in the sentence, that is, the fact that BP allows the derivation of sentences such as As crianças vieram todas and As sentenças foram de

9. Estudo morfológico e sintático da língua mundurukú (tupí)
This dissertation approaches aspects of morphology and syntax of the Mundurukú (Tupí) language. In chapter 1, the personal markers and the relational prefixes are presented, the first ones of clitic nature, and the second ones without personal character. The knowledge of these two phenomena is important for the understanding of the other analyses carried o

10. Raciocinio difuso via logicas moduladas : uma solução ao paradoxo do Sorites
This work studies the concept of vagueness, analyzing their main characteristics and criticizing the viability of Fuzzy Logic to express vague predicates. Vle conclude by showing several debatable points on this use of Fuzzy Logic. Looking for an appropriate logic to express vagueness we study the Modulated Logics, and conclude that they are better suited th

11. Estar + gerundio e ter + participio : aspecto verbal e variação no portugues
By observing the synchronic and diachronic use of the Brazilian Portuguese aspectual periphrases estar (be) + gerund and ter (have) + participle, I propose that they can be analyzed as variants of a variable, according to the theoretical and methodological assumptions of Labovian Sociolinguistics. The variable context is defined by present tense and imperfec

12. A GENERAL APPROACH TO QUANTIFIERS IN NATURAL DEDUCTION / UMA ABORDAGEM GERAL PARA QUANTIFICADORES EM DEDUÇÃO NATURAL
There are many kinds of deductive calculus. The axiomatic ones are the more usual. However, from the point of view of proof theory, Natural Deduction systems seem to be more interesting. This is the motivation for developping a technique that aims to ease the transformation from deductive calculus to Natural Deduction style. This work concentrates on the asp
