A realização fonética do galego e a do português: um estudo comparativo com o latim

Abstract

This work is the result of research developed at the Center for Cultural, Aesthetic and Language Studies ofthe Federal Fluminense Institute, based on the project entitled “Portuguese History and its applicability in the explanation of phonetic phenomena of the Portuguese Language”. Considering that the Galician and Portuguese languages come from Galician-Portuguese, a regional novel that developed in the western part of the Iberian Peninsula, and also that both come from Latin, this work intends to carry out a phonetic comparative study between these three languages in order To demonstrate that, despite their common origin, Galician’s phonetic achievements still approach Latin reconstituted pronunciation, pointing to a tradition in phonetic achievement. For this purpose, the comparative method to be applied by means of the documentary analysis technique of the Orthographic and morphological Norms of the Galician language, instituted by the Galician Royal Academy and the Galician Language Institute with the purpose of unifying the spelling and morphology of this language, in grammars of the Portuguese language and in Latin compendiums, especially with regard to phonetics. Although there are several dialectal phonemes, these are only the phonemes collected in the Norms, emphasizing that the Galician still has much similarity with the Portuguese due to the common origin. As a theoretical reference, it is used mainly Amarante (2015), Monteagudo (2012) and Faria (1958; 1970), besides others. In addition, this article is justified because of the scarcity of works in the area where it is intended to penetrate and the relevance of the comparative treatment of the phonetic aspects of languages that are or have been in contact, as is the case of Galician and Portuguese.
