Divergence and Mismatches in Portuguese Morphology and Syntax, Thomas L.R., 2021.

   This thesis proposes an integration of Paradigm Function Morphology (PFM) as the morphological component within the Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG) architecture, applying the combined theoretical framework LFG-PFM to account for diachronic data. The theory is developed by application to two case studies from Portuguese involving mismatches between different levels of grammatical structure and resulting in divergence between varieties of the language. In each case, I give a new presentation of the Portuguese phenomena, which have not previously been treated in LFG or PFM.

The young athletes interviewed seemed emotionally resilient and able to cope with the pressures of the training and performance environments. In this they appeared helped by their family environment and parental interest, with very few of them experiencing persistent tension or anxiety about the prospect of training or competing. Furthermore, the rate of self-reported psychological illness was lower amongst these athletes than in the general population, which must relate to the cohesion which is an obvious characteristic of athletic families. It is not possible to say whether young athletes enter and persist in sport because of their positive family and psychological characteristics, or whether the reverse is the case, with involvement in sport having a positive effect on mood and family function. Nonetheless, as all athletes know, close attention to diet and nutrition is a prerequisite and makes an obvious contribution to well-being.

I had no career plan at all when I graduated – I found work with a very small family-owned paper where I found myself doing all sorts of jobs. While there I decided to train as a journalist. I must be the only person in the universe to ‘fall into’ journalism! A crucial part of my job is building contacts locally. I attend a lot of council meetings to try to fi nd out what is going on with the 15,000 employees and attend numerous other meetings. Why do I do it? It’s certainly not for the money, which is very poor. I really enjoy seeing my words change things. The frustrations include leaving a story I’m enjoying working on because the editor wants something else.
