Phonological variation in verbs ending in –ear (chantagear) and –iar (variar)
This paper deals with the variation between mid and high vowels related to verbal forms in Brazilian Portuguese ending in –ear (chantagear “to blackmail”) and –iar (variar “to vary”). In these two sets of verbs one observes standard forms such as chantag[e]ia and var[i]a and also non-standard form...

description | This paper deals with the variation between mid and high vowels related to verbal forms in Brazilian Portuguese ending in –ear (chantagear “to blackmail”) and –iar (variar “to vary”). In these two sets of verbs one observes standard forms such as chantag[e]ia and var[i]a and also non-standard forms such as chantag[i]a and var[i]ia. It will also be considered regular verbs in –ear that did not show variation: estr[Ei]a. Based on Usage-Based Phonology (BYBEE, 2001) and Exemplar Model (PIERREHUMBERT, 2001) we will show that in verbs ending in -ear and –iar type frequency and special verbs contribute to speakers generalize morphological marked patterns. This offer instruments to explain why speaker generalize morphophonological patterns for verbs ending in –ear (chantagear) as verbs ending in –iar (variar). We will also explain why a form like estr[Ei]a does not present variation. |
