Vowel insertion in word medial clusters, L2 acquisition, linguistic variation.Abstract
This work aims at investigating the occurrence of vowel insertion in word medial clusters (object > ob[i]ject) in the speech of Brazilian learners of English as L2. A variationist methodology was used (LABOV, 1975; LABOV et al., 2006 [1968] and 2008 [1972]), with 18 informants who were asked to read sentences and texts in English. The speech data were recorded and codified in order to be statistically analyzed using GoldVarb X (SANKOFF, TAGLIAMONTE & SMITH, 2005).
