Research and study groups
The scientific research conducted by the Department of Linguistics and its Graduate Program is organized around projects developed by various research groups that form a single large laboratory, named 'Theodoro Henrique Maurer Jr. Laboratory', and a complementary center, named 'Center for Documentation in Linguistic Historiography' (CEDOCH). The Theodoro Henrique Maurer Laboratory and CEDOCH bring together professors, undergraduate research students, master's students, doctoral students, and postdoctoral researchers.
