Prosodic Phonology: evidence of segmental issues to Prosodic Structure, Syntax-Prosody Interface (prosodic and syntactic focus), and Meaning. RESEARCH DOMAIN Phonetics, Prosodic Phonology, and Prosodic Variation. WORK EXPERIENCE January Present Researcher Institute of Molecular Medicine (IMM/FMUL) Medical School Avenida Professor Egas Moniz, Lisbon (Portugal) The mission of Instituto de Medicina Molecular (IMM) is to foster basic, clinical and translational biomedical research and innovation in this areas with the aim of contributing to a better understanding of disease mechanisms, developing novel predictive and diagnostics tests and developing new therapeutic approaches (FraLusoPark project - Dysarthria in Parkinson s disease: Lusophony vs. Francophony comparison). My main tasks are pre: processing of speech materials and prosodic and intonational analysis, which contributes to the evaluation of modulation in physiologic parameters, markers of perception or psychosocial impact on dysarthric communication in Parkinson disease patients. July 2012 Present Researcher Laboratório de Fonética (CLUL/FLUL) Alameda de Universidade, Lisbon (Portugal) LabFon (Laboratório de Fonética) develops his action around three objectives: research, training support and community service. Investigation: action line in Forensic Phonetics, Language Resources and Theoretical and Phonology Laboratory. The InAPoP project (Interactive Atlas of the Prosody of Portuguese (PTDC/CLE-LIN/119787/2010) financed by national funds through the FCT/MCTES (PIDDAC)), coordinated by Prof. Sónia Frota, aims to develop a prosodic interactive atlas of varieties of Portuguese (European Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese as well as varieties of Portuguese spoken in Angola) contributing to the knowledge on variation and the development of prosodic studies. Principal skills: 1

Lectures (Sociolinguistic Dialectology, Perceptual Dialectology, Fieldwork Methods, Corpora analysis, Dialectometry, Linguistic Geography and GIS) and interactive workshops (Basic maps for linguistics with R, R based statistics) on a range of dialectological linguistic topics, including: language areas and norm concepts, language dynamics and language change, knowledge and shaping of language areas, empirical work (data recording, processing and contrastive analysis) in modern language documentation and dialectology, complementary skills (prosodic annotation about the Frisian language). ArcGIS I - Introduction to GIS With this GIS level, I am able to create and share a GIS map, find and organize geographic data and other GIS resources, accurately display features on a GIS map and efficiently access information about them, analyse a GIS map to identify where features that meet specific criteria are located, share analysis results so they can be viewed using desktop application, websites, and mobile devices. ArcGIS II - Essential Workflows With ArcGIS II, I can use ArcGIS to create and share maps and data, create and update geographic data using editing tools, manage, symbolize, and label maps layers to optimize visualization, create map layouts to visualize data and share analysis results and apply the analysis workflow, geoprocessing tools, and models to solve geographic problems.

Volunteering Volunteering in K'Cidade Institution Urban Community Development Programme in workshop "Language and Communication", an initiative of Aga Khan Foundation, which launched a strategy of action in deprived urban areas of developed countries. We aimed to understand the difficulties of learners in relation to the Portuguese language in general. Throughout the workshop, the trainees were supposed to detect errors in language and writing with the help of missing text, from oral readings, compositions, discussions, and preparing summaries of argumentative texts. At the end of the course, the trainees were subjected to a presentation to the jury. As they had many difficulties by the end of the course, we simulated various presentations in order to detect failures in language and expression in the last classes together. Upon presentation, the trainees appreciated the workshop before the forming and the jury, showing a high degree of satisfaction overall, by the way had evolved. 8
