Resumo: This paper examines the two-way interaction of perceptual and production factors in the light of resolving French and English loan structures in Kirundi. The investigation is framed within the view that loanword adaptation results from attempts to match the non-native perception of the L2 input, within the confines of the L1 grammar. Neither a purely perceptual nor a purely grammatical account can explain the facts. Based on 239 French and 44 English corpora of loans, this study examines loanword adaptation at both the phonemic and the phonotactic levels. We prove how the constraint-ranking Optimality Theory (OT) can account for the phonological adaptations of loans but with limitations. The adaptation cannot be fully understood unless perceptual similarity and auditory factors are integrated in the grammar. This study enriches our understanding of the role of perceptual similarity and perceptual salience in phonology and their relationship to constraint ranking.

A investigação está pautada na visão de que a adaptação do empréstimo linguístico resulta de tentativas de corresponder à percepção não nativa do input da L2 dentro dos limites da gramática da L1. Nem um relato puramente perceptivo ou puramente gramatical pode explicar esses fatos. Com base em uma coleção de 239 empréstimos da língua francesa e 44 corpora de empréstimos da língua inglesa, este estudo examina a adaptação do empréstimo linguístico nos níveis fonêmico e fonotático. Provamos como a hierarquia de restrições da Teoria da Otimalidade (OT) pode explicar as adaptações fonológicas dos empréstimos linguísticos, mas com limitações, pois a adaptação não pode ser totalmente compreendida, a menos que a similaridade perceptiva e os fatores auditivos estejam integrados na gramática. Este estudo enriquece nossa compreensão do papel da semelhança perceptiva e do relevo perceptivo na fonologia e sua relação com a hierarquia de restrições.UFRN2019-12-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufrn.br/odisseia/article/view/1882710.21680/1983-2435.2020v5n1ID18827Odisseia; Vol. 5 No. 1 (2020); p. 22 - 39Revue Odisseia; Vol. 5 No. 1 (2020); p. 22 - 39Revista Odisseia; v. 5 n. 1 (2020); p. 22 - 391983-243510.21680/1983-2435.2020v5n1reponame:Revista odisséiainstname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN)instacron:UFRNenghttps://periodicos.ufrn.br/odisseia/article/view/18827/12289Copyright (c) 2019 Revista Odisseiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRwamo, AliceNtiranyibagira, Constantin 2020-04-05T14:44:44Zoai:periodicos.ufrn.br:article/18827Revistahttps://periodicos.ufrn.br/odisseia/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufrn.br/odisseia/oai||revistaodisseia2016@gmail.com1983-24351983-2435opendoar:2020-04-05T14:44:44Revista odisséia - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN)false
