Sousa Horácio Bartolomeu is a researcher affiliated with Universidade Zambeze, Mozambique, working in the field of arts and humanities. His research examines linguistic variation in Mozambican Portuguese, with particular attention to relative constructions, and also addresses higher education in Mozambique. He is nominated for the Young Researcher Award at the International Academic Achievements & Awards in recognition of his recent scholarly publications [1][2].

Abstract

This article presents the research profile of Sousa Horácio Bartolomeu, a scholar in arts and humanities at Universidade Zambeze, in connection with the Young Researcher Award. His publications focus on the description of Mozambican Portuguese, including relative constructions in spoken usage [1][4], the influence of the Mozambican linguistic variety on university students’ written texts [2], and barriers to higher education for students with disabilities [3].

Keywords

Mozambican Portuguese, linguistic variation, relative clauses, locative constructions, academic writing, higher education, students with disabilities, Mozambique.

Introduction

Portuguese in Mozambique is spoken alongside many Bantu languages, and this contact has produced distinctive features in the national variety of the language. Research on these features is important for linguistic description and for education, since the language of instruction and the spoken variety used by students do not always coincide. Sousa Horácio Bartolomeu’s work contributes to this field and also considers questions of inclusion in Mozambican universities [2][3].

Research Profile

Bartolomeu is affiliated with Universidade Zambeze in Mozambique, and his subject area is arts and humanities. His ORCID identifier is 0009-0007-6596-7510. The indexed record currently shows one document, no citations and an h-index of 0, which is consistent with an early-career publication profile [5]. His research covers three main themes:

  • Syntax of relative clauses in spoken Mozambican Portuguese
  • Linguistic variation in university students’ written production
  • Access to higher education for students with disabilities

Research Contributions

In descriptive linguistics, Bartolomeu analyzed the relative constructions introduced by que and onde in spoken Mozambican Portuguese [1]. A related study reflects on locative relative constructions in the Portuguese spoken in Mozambique [4].

In applied linguistics and education, he examined how the Mozambican linguistic variety influences texts produced by university students [2]. He has also contributed to the discussion of challenges faced by Mozambican higher education institutions in providing access to students with disabilities [3].

Publications

Research Impact

The practical relevance of this work lies in its educational and social applications. Descriptions of Mozambican Portuguese support language teaching and curriculum design that recognize the national variety, while the study of access barriers informs inclusion policies in higher education. As the indexed record is recent, citation metrics remain minimal, and the influence of these publications is expected to appear in later bibliometric data [5].

Award Suitability

Bartolomeu is considered suitable for the Young Researcher Award on the following grounds:

  • An early-career publication record in international journals [1][3]
  • Focus on under-described linguistic varieties of Mozambique
  • Relevance to education, language policy and inclusion
  • Research that connects language description with practical university contexts

Conclusion

Sousa Horácio Bartolomeu’s research shows a consistent interest in the language and education of Mozambique. His studies of relative constructions, student writing and access to higher education illustrate a developing research profile, and his nomination for the Young Researcher Award recognizes the relevance of this early work [2][3].

Her Google Scholar profile lists 17 documents, 25 citations and an h-index of 3 [5], and her ORCID record documents her journal articles, book review and collaborative working paper.

Research Profile

Lehner is affiliated with the Exzellenzcluster Beyond Slavery and Freedom in Germany, and her subject area is arts and humanities. Her Google Scholar ID is bClYBNgAAAAJ.
