Resumo: | In this paper we discuss syllabification in an Urban Portuguese variety spoken in São Tomé and Príncipe (PSTP). In order to do that, we analyzed some phonological processes: clusters, coda and nucleus deletions; vowel devoicing; vocalization, nasalization and rhotic posteriorization. Such phenomena, although commonly treated independently, when examined together may reflect different syllabic patterns, showing a broad and complex view of the system. In fact, the phonological phenomena study in PSTP indicates two paradoxical grammatical trajectories: the prevalence of CV syllables triggered by deletions and lenitions, in which closed syllables adapt to open syllables, and the emergence of complex structures caused by sibilants resylabification and by vowel deletion. These contrasting trajectories reflect the difficulty of traditional proposals in explaining the variation observed in PSTP, making it necessary to approach the issue by models based on use, which accommodate the variation, and encompass the complexity of the linguistic systems. |

Tais fenômenos, embora tratados, comumente, de forma independente pela literatura, quando analisados em conjunto podem refletir padrões silábicos diversos, trazendo uma visão ampla e complexa sobre o sistema em foco. De fato, o levantamento dos fenômenos no PSTP indica a atuação de duas trajetórias gramaticais paradoxais: a prevalência de sílabas CV fomentada por apagamentos e lenições, em que sílabas fechadas se adaptam em sílabas abertas, e a emergência de estruturas complexas, promovida, sobretudo, pela ressilabificação de sibilantes e pelo apagamento vocálico. Essas trajetórias contrastantes refletem a dificuldade de propostas tradicionais em explanar a variação observada no PSTP. Ressaltamos, a partir dos processos discutidos, a necessidade, em trabalhos futuros, em abordar a questão por modelos pautados no uso, que acomodem a variação, e possam abarcar a complexidade dos sistemas linguísticos.Programa de Pós-Graduação em Linguística da UFSC2023-08-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion"Avaliado por pares"application/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/workingpapers/article/view/9229710.5007/1984-8420.2023.e92297Working Papers em Linguística; v. 24 n. 1 (2023): Fonologia; 132-1591984-8420reponame:Working Papers em Lingüística (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/workingpapers/article/view/92297/53977Copyright (c) 2023 Amanda Macedo Balduinohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBalduino, Amanda Macedo 2023-09-15T18:22:09Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/92297Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/workingpapersPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/workingpapers/oaiizete.lehmkuhl.coelho@ufsc.br||portaldeperiodicos.bu@contato.ufsc.br||1984-84201415-1464opendoar:2023-09-15T18:22:09Working Papers em Lingüística (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |

In this paper we discuss syllabification in an Urban Portuguese variety spoken in São Tomé and Príncipe (PSTP). In order to do that, we analyzed some phonological processes: clusters, coda and nucleus deletions; vowel devoicing; vocalization, nasalization and rhotic posteriorization. Such phenomena, although commonly treated independently, when examined together may reflect different syllabic patterns, showing a broad and complex view of the system. In fact, the phonological phenomena study in PSTP indicates two paradoxical grammatical trajectories: the prevalence of CV syllables triggered by deletions and lenitions, in which closed syllables adapt to open syllables, and the emergence of complex structures caused by sibilants resylabification and by vowel deletion. These contrasting trajectories reflect the difficulty of traditional proposals in explaining the variation observed in PSTP, making it necessary to approach the issue by models based on use, which accommodate the variation, and encompass the complexity of the linguistic systems. |
