Marisa is Assistant Professor at the Linguistics Department. She is currently working on visual prosody in Portuguese Spoken and Sign Languages. For her PhD (2013), she studied prosodic variation (melody, rhythm) within European Portuguese. She is interested in how prosodic variation is expressed by visual cues in production and perception, in adults and children.
