Resumo: This paper presents data on the production of English vowels [i ɪ ɛ æ u ʊ] by Brazilian English Language Teaching (ELT) undergraduate students before and after taking a course on English Segmental Phonology. Brazilian learners tend to assimilate the contrasts present in [i ɪ], [ɛ æ] and [u ʊ] into the prototypical categories of Brazilian Portuguese [i], [ɛ] and [u], respectively. Thus, this paper investigates the influence of receiving explicit metalinguistic instruction of English segmental phonology on the production of the target pairs of vowels. The data analysis is of acoustic nature (spectral quality), and the results show that some learners created new phonetic categories for the English vowels after receiving the metalinguistic instruction.

Os aprendentes brasileiros tendem a assimilar os contrastes presentes em [i ɪ], [ɛ æ] e [u ʊ] nas categorias prototípicas do português brasileiro [i], [ɛ] e [u], respectivamente. Assim, este trabalho investiga a influência de receber instrução metalinguística explícita da fonologia segmentar inglesa na produção dos pares alvo de vogais. A análise de dados é de natureza acústica (qualidade espectral), e os resultados mostram que alguns alunos criaram novas categorias fonéticas para as vogais inglesas depois de receberem a instrução metalinguística.UFSC2017-09-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionExperimental Researchapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2017v70n3p11710.5007/2175-8026.2017v70n3p117Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; Vol. 70 No. 3 (2017); 117-130Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; v. 70 n. 3 (2017); 117-1302175-80260101-4846reponame:Ilha do Desterroinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCenghttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2017v70n3p117/34972Copyright (c) 2017 Ronaldo Mangueira Lima Jrinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLima Jr, Ronaldo Mangueira2017-09-26T08:42:57Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/49856Revistahttp://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:2017-09-26T08:42:57Ilha do Desterro - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
