Development of subordination structures in writing: longitudinal study with pri...
Batalha, Joana; Cardoso, Aida; Lobo, MariaThe present study investigates the longitudinal development of syntactic complexity in writing at early stages of development. It is based on the hypothesis that the use of subordination structures contributes to the characterization of syntactic complexity in writing, particularly in narratives produced in the first years of schooling. Specifically, we seek to answer the following research questions: (i) What ...
CEPLEXicon - a European Portuguese Acquisition Lexicon
Santos, Ana Lúcia; Maria João Freitas; Cardoso, AidaCEPLEXicon (version 1.1) is a child lexicon resulting from the automatic tagging of two child corpora: the corpus Santos (Santos, 2006; Santos et al. 2014) and the corpus Child – Adult Interaction (Freitas et al. 2012), which integrates information from the corpus Freitas (Freitas, 1997). This lexicon represents spontaneous speech produced by seven children (1;02.00 to 3;11.12) during approximately 86h of child...

Speech-language prosthesis complications: nursing interventions
Machado Almeida, Anabela; Cardoso, Aida; Nogueira, SandrinaThe voice prosthesis (VP) is a one-way valve that allows air to pass from the lung / trachea to the esophagus when the stoma is occluded, producing voice. Consequently, it improves quality of life in patients undergoing total laryngectomy. However, some complications may appear, so nurses must be vigilant and act to maintain the quality of life. For a good vocal rehabilitation becomes essential to provide speci...
Contrastive Parallelism in European Portuguese: Prosodic features of a coehesio...
Cardoso, AidaThis paper focuses on the encoding of contrast in European Portuguese (EP), specifically by analysing contrastive parallelism structures, which seem to be crucial in the construction of the type of discourse that will be analysed: the argumentative discourse. Hence, my main goal is discussing how contrast is prosodically encoded in these structures and to relate the results with previous ones for other language...
A corpus of European Portuguese child and child-directed speech
Santos, Ana Lúcia; Généreux, Michel; Cardoso, Aida; Agostinho, Celina; Abalada, SilvanaWe present a corpus of child and child-directed speech of European Portuguese. This corpus results from the expansion of an already existing database (Santos, 2006). It includes around 52 hours of child-adult interaction and now contains 27,595 child utterances and 70,736 adult utterances. The corpus was transcribed according to the CHILDES system (Child Language Data Exchange System) and using the CLAN softwar...
A Comment on Comment Clauses: Data from European Portuguese
Cardoso, Aida; Pereira, Sandra; Veloso, RitaIn this study, we analyze the prosodic realization of comment clauses in European Portuguese in a corpus of spontaneous speech: the Portuguese C-ORAL-ROM corpus. Focusing our analysis on comment clauses involving the verb ‘dizer’ (‘to say’), our main goal is to find if there is a pattern in the prosodic realization of similar comment clauses. Building on regular patterns found for the prosodic structure of thes...
Paralelismo por contraste em Português Europeu
Cardoso, AidaThis study focuses on the encoding of contrast in European Portuguese (EP), by analyzing a corpus built from a political debate. We will analyze contrastive parallelism structures, which, as will be discussed, are crucial in structuring an argumentative discourse. Therefore, our goal is to discuss the prosodic encoding of contrast in EP, in the specific context of contrastive parallelism, and to relate our data...
O vocativo em português europeu: estudo de parâmetros prosódicos em vocativos c...
Abalada, Silvana; Cabarrão, Vera; Cardoso, AidaIn this paper, we argue that the vocative in European Portuguese has different prosodic properties according to its syntactic distribution. In order to prove this, we have built a corpus and analyzed the intonation contours associated to the vocative and the boundary’s strength between this constituent and the sentence. Our data shows that the vocative’s distribution plays a crucial part in its prosodic charact...
