Resumo: | Although Portuguese admits syllables with complex onsets, there are several constraints on the kinds of actually occurring complex onsets. Firstly, the only kind of possible complex onset is the one formed by a non-sibilant obstruent followed by a liquid. Even within this smaller group of complex onsets there are still gaps. The onset /dl/ does not occur, whereas the onset /tl/ is hardly ever found, and only in the middle of words. There are also no /vl/ and /vɾ/ onsets at the beginning of native words in the standard language, except in the onomatopoea vrum. The present article examines these gaps with the purpose of identifying why they exist. The conclusion reached is that the gaps in the onsets including the consonant /v/ as their first member are explained as a result of the conditions for the development of that consonant from Latin to Portuguese. The first two complex onsets, /tl/ and /dl/, on the other hand, are disfavored due to perceptual difficulties. |

Em primeiro lugar, o único tipo de ataque complexo possível é o constituído por uma obstruinte não sibilante seguida de uma líquida. Mesmo nesse grupo menor de ataques complexos ainda há lacunas. Não é encontrado o ataque /dl/, e quase não é encontrado o ataque /tl/, que só ocorre em meio de palavra. Também não são encontrados ataques de palavras nativas com /vl/, e /vɾ/ na língua padrão não ocorre em início de palavra, a não ser na onomatopeia vrum. Este artigo examina essas lacunas com o objetivo de identificar por que elas existem. A conclusão do trabalho é que as lacunas em português com relação a ataques que têm a consoante /v/ como primeiro membro são explicadas como consequência das condições de surgimento dessa própria consoante a partir do latim. Já os dois primeiros ataques, /tl/ e /dl/, são desfavorecidos por dificuldades perceptuais.UNESP2021-11-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/alfa/article/view/1321010.1590/1981-5794-e13210ALFA: Revista de Linguística; v. 65 (2021)1981-5794reponame:Alfa (São José do Rio Preto.

Firstly, the only kind of possible complex onset is the one formed by a non-sibilant obstruent followed by a liquid. Even within this smaller group of complex onsets there are still gaps.
