Nasalização fonética no português brasileiro: uma revisão sistemática de literatura

Abstract

According to Câmara Jr. (2009 [1970]), the nasalization process results from the meeting of a vowel with a nasal consonant. Based on this observation, we consider two types of nasalization: a phonological with a distinctive function and another phonetic without distinctive function. In this work, the objective was to carry out a systematic literature review on the process of phonetic nasalization in Portuguese. For this, through keywords and Boolean operators, we created an expression used to perform searches of texts in the Google Scholar database. A total of 1,315 texts were selected. After applying exclusion and inclusion criteria, we have reached 21 texts which integrate this systematic literature review. The selected researches were grouped in two categories: those of phonetic-phonological basis and those of sociolinguistic basis. The results lead us to the conclusion that in phonetic-phonological surveys, phonetic nasalization was treated marginally, and its study was carried out with the objective of being contrasted with the study of phonological nasalization. On the other hand, sociolinguistic studies are incipient with results that lack explanations and conclusions
