Abstract

This is a phonological study on the Brazilian Portuguese oral diphthong [uw], represented orthographically by "ul", which is in variation in the spoken language. We have investigated the phenomenon experimentally and acoustically. And we have modelled the results within Optimality Theory by means of the MaxEnt Grammar Tool program. It is, therefore, a study in language that uses experimental and computational methodologies in interaction.
