Summary

Co e i ta σ

A partir da planilha considerada, somente ocorrências do tipo deus, mais, meus, pois, já que nesses casos temos um ditongo decrescente acrescido de um s, o qual ficaria sem lugar de ancoragem na estrutura silábica apresentada para o PA, com base em Lopez (1979). Portanto, a necessidade de considerar as duas posições disponíveis na coda sugeridas pela estrutura apresentada em (1). Podemos concluir que, para o PA, a planilha silábica poderia ser apresentada com os seguintes constituintes:. Temos uma estrutura que representa as seqüências vocálicas de maneira adequada, demonstrando que o núcleo da sílaba, sempre uma vogal, tem status diferenciado perante os outros constituintes, inclusive, perante os glides, que ficariam sempre na coda, como é possível ver em (8) e (9)
