Synopsis

Trends in the Acquisition of Portuguese Phonology offers a comprehensive analysis of Portuguese phonological development in children and L2 learners.

Drawing from decades of research, the collection highlights the application of generative theoretical models in understanding the intricacies of language acquisition in both Brazilian and European Portuguese contexts. Readers will gain an in-depth understanding of the phonological acquisition process, backed by empirical data and theoretical insights. Features include comparative analysis of Brazilian and European Portuguese, discussions on typical and atypical phonological development, and the phonology of L2 Portuguese learners. This edited collection will equip researchers, therapists and educators with the tools to apply these insights in practical settings, thereby enhancing language assessment and intervention strategies in educational and clinical contexts.

Trends in the Acquisition of Portuguese Phonology will, therefore, be of interest to linguists, language acquisition researchers, and educators who specialize in phonology, bilingualism, and second language learning, as well as speech and language therapists.
