Usage-based Grammar Induction from Minimal Cognitive Principles
This study explores the cognitive mechanisms underlying human language acquisition through grammar induction by a minimal cognitive architecture, with a short and flexible sequence memory as its most central feature. We use reinforcement learning for the task of identifying sentences in a stream of words from artificial languages. Results demonstrate the model’s ability to identify frequent and informative multi-word chunks, reproducing character…
Afro-Brazilian Cupópia
The present paper focuses on the speech of a rural Afro-Brazilian community called Cafundó , situated 150 km from São Paulo. In 1978, when linguistic data were collected, the community constituted approximately eighty individuals, descendants of two slave women who inherited their owners’ proprieties. According to earlier studies, when the inhabitants of Cafundó spoke in their supposed ‘African language’, Cupópia , they used structures borrowed f…
Contact, Variation and Change in Angolan Portuguese
This article investigates the role of language contact in the use of the possessive verb ter ‘to have’ in existential constructions in Cabinda Portuguese, rather than the existential haver ‘to exist’, which is the standard form in Portugal. The analysis is based on data from 40 interviews with 20 male and 20 female high school students between 18 and 30 years old. Social factors related to multilingualism are also analysed to discuss how social a…
A Cupópia do Cafundó
O presente estudo analisa a fala da comunidade rural afrobrasileira de Cafundó, situada a 150 km da cidade de São Paulo. Entre 1978 e 1988, período em que os dados aqui analisados foram coletados, a comunidade contava com carca de 80 pessoas, descendentes de duas ex-escravas, irmãs, que herdaram as terras do seu dono. O livro publicado, em 1996, por Carlos Vogt e Peter Fry (com a colaboração de Robert Slenes) defende que a variedade denominada Cu…
