Concerning the system of concord, non-standard BP marks, with the plural morpheme, either only D or D plus its most adjacent element, leaving the other elements unmarked. This fact has two consequences: as a D, \u0091ques\u0092 licenses ?-features, as opposed to previous predictions (Vidor; Menuzzi, 2004); as a morpheme that may appear more than once in the DP (Castro; Pratas, 2006, p. 18), \u0091-s\u0092 cannot be \u0093singleton\u0094, as opposed to current assumptions (Costa; Figueiredo Silva, 2006). In addition, besides structures with \u0091ques\u0092, data from dialectal BP show that other wh-words may be inflected (2); so does the indefinite article, followed by the numeral \u0091meio(a)\u0092 and a singular NP (3).<\/p>\n<p>(2)       Quantos que custa isso?<\/br><br clear='none'\/>\nHow-much-PL that cost it<\/br><br clear='none'\/>\n\u0091How much does it cost?\u0092<\/p>\n<p>(3)       Nossa reuni\u00e3o pode ser daqui a umas meia hora?<\/br><br clear='none'\/>\nOur meeting may be from-here to some-PL half hour-SG<\/br><br clear='none'\/>\n\u0091Could we have a meeting within half an hour?\u0092<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, apparent ?-feature \u0093mismatches\u0094 will be addressed in order to investigate the system of nominal concord (Baker, 2008; Norris, 2014; H\u00f6hn, 2015) in BP.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Bruna Karla Pereira (UFVJM; CAPES Foundation- Ministry of Education of Brazil) Title: The plural morpheme in BP nominal concord This talk is focused on number nominal concord in non-standard Brazilian Portuguese (BP).
