Enhancing Parsing of European Portuguese Verbal Idioms
Antunes, David; Baptista, Jorge; Mamede, NunoVerbal idioms (or verbal idiomatic expressions) are multiword expressions in which the main verb is distributionally frozen with one or more of its arguments (subject or complements). For the most part, they convey a non-compositional meaning that cannot be inferred from the individual meanings of their constituents when used separately.The primary goal of this project is the creation of a system capable of pro...

Automatic Assessment of Text Complexity Levels in European Portuguese
Ribeiro, Eugénio; Mamede, Nuno; Baptista, JorgeThe assessment of text readability and the classification of texts by complexity levels is essential for language education and language-related industries that rely on effective communication. The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) provides a widely recognized framework for classifying language proficiency levels. This framework can be used not only to assess the proficiency of learner...
Differentiating Brazilian and European Portuguese Multiword Adverbs
Muller, Izabela; Mamede, Nuno; Baptista, JorgeThe identification of Portuguese multiword adverbs in texts such as de fininho ‘sneakily’ or em plena luz do dia ‘in broad daylight’ is an essential part of determining the meaning units forming a text. This paper explores the boundaries of adverbial multiword expressions in European and Brazilian Portuguese varieties. The primary purpose is to determine the frequency and distribution of the expressions in the ...
European Cities of Sport as a Strategic Policy for Local Development of Sports:...
Teixeira, Mário Coelho; Mamede, Nuno; Segui-Urbaneja, Jordi; Sesinando, AndréEuropean sports policies have focused on the implementation of public instruments and policy measures, aiming to encourage EU member states to promote and improve sports habits, while simultaneously tackling high levels of sedentary lifestyle among Europeans. Despite these efforts, data concerning the various measures is quite limited, making it impossible to assess the real impact on the population, particular...

Compound adverbs in Brazilian Portuguese
Müller, Izabela; Mamede, Nuno; Baptista, JorgeThis ongoing study aims to identify, classify, and describe multiword/compound adverbs in Brazilian Portuguese, focusing on their syntactic-semantic properties. The goal is to create a comprehensive lexicon of compound adverbs in Portuguese, which can be applied in various domains such as Natural Language Processing (NLP), translation, and language teaching. This classification will help establish the distribut...
Hidden support verb “com rabo de fora”: Complex constructions with reduced supp...
Baptista, Jorge; Mamede, NunoSupport verbs are grammatical elements that primarily serve to 'conjugate' predicative nouns. Reduction (zeroing or ellipsis) of these verbs is a highly common phenomenon in texts. In the process of developing a Lexicon–Grammar for support verb constructions with predicative nouns in Portuguese, it becomes crucial to establish precise definitions for verb-noun combinations in which the verb functions as a suppo...
Predicative nouns and neutral constructions
Baptista, Jorge; Reis, Sónia; Mamede, NunoThis paper, developed within the Lexicon‑Grammar theoretical and methodological framework, analyses the predicate noun and support‑verb constructions that admit the syntactic transformation: O médico fez um raio‑x ao tórax do Pedro = O Pedro fez um raio‑x ao tórax (lit.: ‘The doctor did a x‑ray to the chest of Pedro/Pedro did a x‑ray to the chest’) ‘The doctor x‑rayed Pedro's chest/Pedro had a chest x‑ray’; in ...
Predicates of communication in European Portuguese: nominalizations and autonom...
Reis, Sónia; Mamede, Nuno; Baptista, JorgeThis paper provides an overview of the verbal and noun predicates involving the concept of communication and their distribution in the lexicon‑grammar of European Portuguese. Two key concepts are used: (i) the agent‑speaker semantic role (and other related roles, such as message, and addressee), associated with the subject syntactic slot of these predicates; and (ii) the possibility of the verb to enter a verbu...
