Professor Sandra Quarezemin, from the Department of Vernacular (Portuguese) Language and Literature and a member of the Graduate Program in Linguistics at UFSC, was selected for a Fulbright “All Disciplines Scholar Award – Cycle 2022-2023″ and obtained a Visiting Scholar grant to develop a research project in the Department of Linguistics at Stony Brook University, United States. The research, carried out from September to December 2022 (fall semester) and developed in collaboration with Professor Francisco Ordóñez, was centered on the teaching of grammar through the scientific method, the creation of a software for teaching syntax in undergraduate courses (developed by Professor Richard Larson, from Stony Brook University), and on a comparative study of Brazilian Portuguese, within the area of grammatical theory and analysis.
The “All Disciplines Scholar Award – Cycle 2022-2023” granted 20 teaching and/or research awards to professors and researchers, who have achieved their doctoral degree at least seven years ago, in all disciplines. Of the seven Fulbrighters who arrived at Stony Brook University in September 2022, only Professor Quarezemin represented Brazil.
