| Sumario: | This study investigates the realization of phonetic detail associated to Brazilian Portuguese (BP) voiceless alveolar stop /t/ and its influence on the production of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) by Brazilian learners from the states of Ceará (CE) and Rio Grande do Norte (RN). Aforementioned BP regional dialects realize their voiceless alveolar stops in distinct ways, once CE informants allow palatalization emergence /t, d/ → [tʃ, dÊ’]. On the literature overview section, we examined researches involving BP/EFL interphonology, emphasizing a view of language as a Complex Adaptive System (CAS), besides the relevance of phonetic detail for the mental representation as defended by Usage-based Phonology (BYBEE, 2001) and the Exemplar Model (PIERREHUMBERT, 2001). Methodology involves data reanalysis in a previous study Barboza (2013), which involved the production of voiceless alveolar stops in many BP and EFL words which allowed alveolar palatalization owing to phonotactic context. Data analysis focus on the realization of duration and intensity of the release burst associated to the voiceless alveolar stop. Results indicate BP phonetic detail influences significantly EFL by Brazilian learners in all proficiency levels. |
