Portuguese Language Learning by Haitian Immigrants: the Perception of the Liquid Consonants /l/ and /ɾ/

Listed in DataCite

Description

Abstract

This paper deals with the acquisition of Brazilian Portuguese as an additional language by Haitian immigrants, more precisely with regard to the perception of liquid consonants /l/ and /ɾ/ in intervocalic context, as in pala, mala, and Sara. Fourteen Haitian immigrant men with average ages of 30,07 (SD = 4,98) who were living in Pato Branco/PR (Brazil) participated in the study. The discussion is based on theoretical assumptions of L2 Phonological Acquisition (FLEGE, 1995; BEST; TYLER, 2007) and results revealed a tendency to the assimilation process, which means that /l/ and /ɾ/ are categorized together.

Besides, the participants who attended the language classes the longest and lived in Brazil with their Haitian families showed a positive effect in perceiving the liquids.
