The Galabra-UMinho research team mainly develops research on cultural speeches and practices within the community, focusing on the Portuguese-speaking communities in particular.
The research team promotes quantitative and qualitative methodological procedures (NLP [Natural Language Processing], lexicometry, text mining, information visualization, imagology, etc.) developing field and corpus work, on the basic systemic theories, field research, network analysis and empirical analysis, with its own development and adapted to the different realities within the scope of the research team.
Galabra-UMinho is guided by its social commitment and investigative autonomy, thus perceiving research as a public service. The goals of this research group aim at providing answers to the local community’s needs (cohesion, well-being, sustainability, etc).
The Team Galabra-UMinho wishes to progress in fundamental research, developing and applying new methods and tools for language and culture analysis, as well as reproducing, assessing results and, eventually, producing results that differ from those achieved in other works, that followed the same methodological guidelines and the same corpora, a somewhat rare practice in this area.
Galabra-UMinho research team is part of the Galabra Network, which is shared by other teams and researchers both in Galicia, Portugal, and in Brazil. Within the scope of the Galabra Network, the work carried out by the Team will focus essentially on research projects that aim at contributing to the projects related with the linguistic-cultural patrimony and tourism, scopes within which Galabra is already experienced, with completed and current projects.
