contents ON SYLLABLE STRUCTURE AND PHONOLOGICAL VARIATION: THE CASE OF I-EPENTHESIS BY BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE LEARNERS OF ENGLISH Paul John Walcir Cardoso Lengua y Literatura Vowel epenthesis Nonword learning Syllable structure Phonological variation Second language acquisition Our study employs nonword-learning tasks to examine i-epenthesis in the speech output of 53 Brazilian Portuguese learners of English. One aim is to investigate conlicting views on the syllabiication of consonants in various word-medial and inal contexts, where they can be parsed as either codas or onsets of empty nuclei. Another aim is to test a proposal (John & Cardoso, 2017) concerning the source of L2 phonological variation: we suggest that L2 variation is lexical rather than derivational, stemming from individual items having dual underlying representations which compete for selection at the moment of speaking. he results of a multivariate statistical analysis indicate: i) a hierarchy of diiculty in the acquisition of the stops /p k/ in diferent lexical locations; and ii) simultaneous development of dual representations for single lexical items. 2017 artículo científico 2175-8026 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=478355306003 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4783 Ilha do Desterro: A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies application/pdf Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina Ilha do Desterro: A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.70
