About Me.
I hold a PhD in Linguistics from the Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP), where I also completed my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Linguistics.
My main research interests lie in Syntax and Diachronic Change in Romance languages, with a particular focus on Portuguese and on Differential Object Marking. My work also emphasizes corpus-driven approaches to linguistic analysis.
Research Interests

Synchronic and diachronic morphosyntax and semantics (main working language: Portuguese)
