Resumo: | This work addresses Angolar, a native language of São Tomé and Príncipe. It aims to (i) investigate its phonetic-phonological aspects, and (ii) compare the research results with Maurer (1995) and Lorenzino (1998), two of the first descriptions. The corpus is constituted by 3,000 items collected in two field trips (in 2014 and 2018) to the community of São João dos Angolares in São Tomé. Regarding the consonants, we argue that Angolar has sixteen phonemes: /p, b, t, d, k, g, f, v, θ, ð, l, m, n, ɲ, j, w/. This study differs from the analyses of Maurer (1995) and Lorenzino (1998) because it considers [t͡ʃ], [d͡ʒ] and [r] as allophones. On the other hand, all three studies agree as for the phonological status of interdental fricatives. Regarding the vowel inventory, Angolar has fourteen oral vowels: /i, e, ɛ, a, ɔ, o, u, ii, ee, ɛɛ, aa, ɔɔ, oo, uu/. Nasal realizations are possible. Finally, regarding syllable structure, there is a larger number of syllable templates, including a possibility of realization of complex onsets. With this study, it is possible to know more about Angolar phonology, to shed new light on a still little studied language, and to contribute to the area of Contact Linguistics. |

Como corpus, foram utilizados 3000 itens coletados em duas viagens de campo (em 2014 e 2018) para a comunidade de São João dos Angolares, em São Tomé. Quanto ao quadro consonantal, defendese que o angolar possui 16 fonemas: /p, b, t, d, k, g, f, v, θ, ð, l, m, n, ɲ, j, w/. Este estudo diferencia-se das análises de Maurer (1995) e Lorenzino (1998) por considerar [͡tʃ], [d͡ ʒ] e [r] como alofones; por outro lado, os três estudos concordam quanto ao estatuto fonológico das fricativas interdentais. Com relação ao quadro vocálico, o angolar apresenta 14 vogais orais: /i, e, ɛ, a, ɔ, o, u, ii, ee, ɛɛ, aa, ɔɔ, oo, uu/, sendo possíveis foneticamente realizações nasais. Por fim, quanto à estrutura silábica, foi encontrado um número maior de moldes silábicos, incluindo uma possível realização de onset complexo. Com esse estudo, foi possível conhecer mais acerca da fonologia do angolar, lançando novas luzes sobre uma língua ainda pouco estudada e contribuindo para a área de contato.UNESP2021-08-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/alfa/article/view/1317710.1590/1981-5794-e13177ALFA: Revista de Linguística; v. 65 (2021)1981-5794reponame:Alfa (São José do Rio Preto.
