Resumo: | Our study employs nonword-learning tasks to examine i-epenthesis in the speech output of 53 Brazilian Portuguese learners of English. One aim is to investigate conflicting views on the syllabification of consonants in various word-medial and final contexts, where they can be parsed as either codas or onsets of empty nuclei. Another aim is to test a proposal (Authors, 2017) concerning the source of L2 phonological variation: we suggest that L2 variation is lexical rather than derivational, stemming from individual items having dual underlying representations which compete for selection at the moment of speaking. The results of a multivariate statistical analysis indicate: i) a hierarchy of difficulty in the acquisition of the stops /p k/ in different lexical locations; and ii) simultaneous development of dual representations for single lexical items. |

Um dos objetivos é investigar pontos de vista conflitantes sobre a silabificação de consoantes em vários contextos medianos e finais, onde podem ser analisados como codas ou conjuntos de núcleos vazios. Outro objetivo é testar uma proposta (Autores, 2017) sobre a origem da variação fonológica L2: sugerimos que a variação L2 é lexical em vez de derivativa, decorrente de itens individuais com duas representações subjacentes que competem pela seleção no momento de falar. Os resultados de uma análise estatística multivariada indicam: i) uma hierarquia de dificuldade na aquisição das paradas / p k / em diferentes locais lexicais; e ii) desenvolvimento simultâneo de representações duais para itens lexicais únicos.UFSC2017-09-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2017v70n3p16910.5007/2175-8026.2017v70n3p169Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; Vol. 70 No. 3 (2017); 169-184Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; v. 70 n. 3 (2017); 169-1842175-80260101-4846reponame:Ilha do Desterroinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCenghttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2017v70n3p169/34982Copyright (c) 2017 Paul John, Walcir Cardosoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessJohn, PaulCardoso, Walcir2017-09-26T08:44:53Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/49846Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterroPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/oaiilha@cce.ufsc.br||corseuil@cce.ufsc.br||ilhadodesterro@gmail.com2175-80260101-4846opendoar:2017-09-26T08:44:53Ilha do Desterro - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |
