Resumo: | This article presents a formal analysis of the Interlanguage of Brazilian learners (gaúchos) of English regarding the acquisition of the velar nasal in syllabic coda. The analysis is associated with the learning algorithm of the Stochastic Optimality Theory, the GLA (Gradual Learning Algorithm) (BOERSMA and HAYES, 2001), which views acquisition as a hierarchical ranking of linguistic constraints, in which variation is represented by the overlapping of the selection points of the constraints in a continuous scale. The status of the variation in the L1 (first language, Portuguese) and in the L2 (second language, English) is distinct, it is due to phonetic conditioning in the first language and phonological conditioning in the second language. The starting point of the L2 acquisition is the L1 ranking, whose configuration is M(arkedness)>>F(aithfulness). In the modelling proposed, a constraint AGREE (M), which demands sharing of manner of articulation in the sequence vN_#, has a similar ranking value to a constraint IDENT (F), which requires identity concerning nasal manner of articulation in the input and in the output. The modelling confirms the potential of the algorithm concerning the formalization of variable L2 systems. Acquiring the velar nasal is to promote Faithfulness towards the input, through the gradual adjustement of contraints. |

A análise está associada ao algoritmo de aprendizagem da Teoria da Otimidade Estocástica, o GLA (Gradual Learning Algorithm) (BOERSMA e HAYES, 2001), que considera a aquisição como o ordenamento hierárquico de restrições linguísticas, em que a variação é representada pela sobreposição de pontos de seleção das restrições numa escala contínua. O status da variação na L1 (primeira língua, Português) e na L2 (segunda língua, Inglês) é distinto, tem condicionamento fonético na primeira e fonológico na segunda. O ponto de partida da aquisição da L2 é o ranking da L1, de configuração M(arcação)>>F(idelidade). Na formalização proposta, uma restrição AGREE (M), que exige partilha de ponto de articulação na sequência vN_#, possui valor de ranqueamento próximo ao de uma restrição IDENT (F), que requer identidade quanto ao ponto da nasal no input e no output. O modelamento feito reitera o potencial do algoritmo no que diz respeito à formalização de sistemas variáveis de L2. Adquirir a nasal velar é promover Fidelidade em direção ao input, através do ajuste gradual das restrições.PP/UFU2016-06-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagem/article/view/3188310.14393/DL22-v10n2a2016-10Domínios de Lingu@gem; Vol. 10 No. 2 (2016): Fonética e Fonologia - Homenagem a Gisela Collischonn; 646-672Domínios de Lingu@gem; Vol. 10 Núm. 2 (2016): Fonética e Fonologia - Homenagem a Gisela Collischonn; 646-672Domínios de Lingu@gem; v. 10 n. 2 (2016): Fonética e Fonologia - Homenagem a Gisela Collischonn; 646-6721980-5799reponame:Domínios de Lingu@geminstname:Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)instacron:UFUporhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagem/article/view/31883/18494Copyright (c) 2016 Athany Gutierresinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGutierres, Athany2020-06-26T20:57:03Zoai:ojs.www.seer.ufu.br:article/31883Revistahttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagemPUBhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagem/oairevistadominios@ileel.ufu.br||1980-57991980-5799opendoar:2020-06-26T20:57:03Domínios de Lingu@gem - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)false |
