“…Representing the irregularity of these plurals includes assessing whether -ões and -js are allomorphs of -s (Crist ofaro-Silva 2012; Becker et al, 2018;and others) or whether the allomorphy affects the bases instead, with the plural suffix being unchanged (Camara 1969;1970;Morales-Front & Holt 1997;Schwindt & Wetzels 2016;and others).…”

“…The change of value of the feature [lateral] is the least marked option, ranked above [l]-deletion or vowel insertion. For Schwindt & Wetzels (2016), the problem with this analysis is that the creation of a nucleus demanded by the plural marker seems to be unmotivated in dialects that already vocalize this segment in final position of singular forms. 5 Instead, the most appropriate analysis seems to be to derive the plural by a general rule of coda vocalization and assimilation of the glide to the coronal place of the plural suffix (e.g., ane/l/ → an e[w]~an e[ɫ] → an e[js] 'ring/s').…”

“…There are at least four alternatives: CV, lV, CVw, and CVl. If these patterns are compared with the plural ones, the new element is the latter pattern, which can be paired to CVjs, as proposed by Camara (1969;1970), Morales-Front & Holt (1997), Mateus & D'Andrade (2000), Schwindt & Wetzels (2016), among many others.…”

This paper deals with the underlying representation of [w]-final words in Brazilian Portuguese, usually spelled with <l> and pronounced as [w] and occasionally as [ɫ] (e.g., papel / [paˈpɛw] ~ [paˈpɛɫ] ‘paper’). It focuses on non-verbs derived by a vowel-initial suffix preceded by [l] (e.g., papel+eiro ‘paper+suffix’ / [papeˈlejɾʊ] ‘papermaker’; cliente+ismo ‘client+suffix’ / [kliẽnteˈlizmʊ] ‘patronage’). The results from a pseudoword task answered by 219 participants contrasted to lexicon data from Corpus Brasileiro show that native speakers associate such derived forms with bases already containing [l] in the last syllable, either in the onset or the coda position. This observation is interpreted in a constraint-based approach, with the assumption that a demand for alignment between vowel-initial suffixes and roots closed by /l/, along with the requirement for phonological correspondence between base and derivative, is highly ranked in a grammar that accounts for learning morphophonological representations in the language.
