Resumo: | The functioning of unstressed vowels is, according to Câmara Jr. (1977), “one of the most intricate problems of Portuguese phonemics in Brazil”. In final unstressed position, the weakest of the word, the seven stressed vowel triangle of the phonological system of the language is reduced to the three peripheral vowels /a, i, u/ (CÂMARA JR., 1970, 1977; BISOL, 1981, 2002, 2003). These vowels that remain in the syllables with higher degree of stress in Brazilian Portuguese (BP) are the most frequent in the phonological inventories of languages (MADDIESON, 1984) and the first to emerge in children’s language acquisition process (RANGEL, 2002) . The phonetic forms that such vowels take on in BP tend to be centralized ([I, U, ]), even though some variation may be found in southern Brazil between high and mid ones (golp[I] ~ golp[e]; camp[U] ~ camp[o]). Taking into account the possible asymmetry when BP final unstressed vowels are considered, the mapping between the phonetic and phonological levels of the language is the focus of this study. In the discussion, a previous investigation that had been carried out in southern Brazil is reviewed: four informants were submitted to linguistic perception and production tests, whose data were interpreted by means of constraints with the support of the BiPhon Model (BOERSMA, 2007). Results were formalized to represent the grammar that is responsible for the PB native speakers’ representation of the final unstressed vowels. |

Em sílaba átona final, a mais débil da palavra, o triângulo de sete vogais tônicas do sistema fonológico da língua fica reduzido às três vogais periféricas /a, i, u/ (CÂMARA JR., 1970, 1977; BISOL, 1981, 2002, 2003). Essas vogais que se mantêm nas sílabas com maior grau de atonicidade no português brasileiro (PB) são as mais frequentes nos inventários fonológicos das línguas (MADDIESON, 1984) e as primeiras a emergir no processo de aquisição da linguagem pelas crianças (RANGEL, 2002). As formas fonéticas que tais vogais assumem no PB tendem a ser centralizadas ([I, U, ]), havendo variação, no sul do país, entre altas e médias (golp[I] ~ golp[e]; camp[U] ~ camp[o]). Diante da possível assimetria ao se considerarem as vogais átonas finais do PB, o mapeamento entre os níveis fonético e fonológico da língua é o foco do presente estudo. Na discussão, retoma-se pesquisa realizada com quatro informantes do sul do Brasil, submetidos a testes de percepção e de produção linguísticas, cujos dados foram interpretados por meio de restrições com o suporte do Modelo BiPhon (BOERSMA, 2007, 2011). Os resultados foram formalizados de modo a representar a gramática responsável pela representação das vogais átonas finais de falantes nativos de PB.PP/UFU2016-06-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagem/article/view/3158610.14393/DL22-v10n2a2016-3Domínios de Lingu@gem; Vol. 10 No. 2 (2016): Fonética e Fonologia - Homenagem a Gisela Collischonn; 466-493Domínios de Lingu@gem; Vol. 10 Núm. 2 (2016): Fonética e Fonologia - Homenagem a Gisela Collischonn; 466-493Domínios de Lingu@gem; v. 10 n. 2 (2016): Fonética e Fonologia - Homenagem a Gisela Collischonn; 466-4931980-5799reponame:Domínios de Lingu@geminstname:Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)instacron:UFUporhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagem/article/view/31586/18486Copyright (c) 2016 Carmen Lúcia Matzenauerinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMatzenauer, Carmen Lúcia2020-06-26T20:25:20Zoai:ojs.www.seer.ufu.br:article/31586Revistahttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagemPUBhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagem/oairevistadominios@ileel.ufu.br||1980-57991980-5799opendoar:2020-06-26T20:25:20Domínios de Lingu@gem - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)false |
