FreP

Frequency Patterns of Phonological Objects in Portuguese - Research and Applications

 
The FreP project is a contribution to the knowledge of the frequency patterns of phonological objects in the Portuguese language. Such knowledge is known to be relevant for many areas of fundamental research and its applications. The project has 3 chief goals: (1) the development of the FreP electronic tool for the automatic computation of frequency information; (2) the creation of a database of frequency patterns of phonological units in different types of corpora, to be used as reference information; (3) the application of both the FreP tool and the database to (i) research on adult phonology and the comparison of European (EP) and Brazilian Portuguese (BP), (ii) language acquisition and development, (iii) forensic research, (iv) teaching/learning of Portuguese grammar. Besides the new insights into adult and child speech, or into language variation, the project has as outcomes new language resources for EP and BP, namely the extended FreP tool, the frequency patterns database, and teaching/learning electronic materials.
