DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PORTUGUESE AND ENGLISH
• SPELLING x PRONUNCIATION
– Portuguese - what you see is what you get
– English - what you see is almost never what you get
problem: early contact with written text
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PORTUGUESE AND ENGLISH
• NUMBER OF VOWELS AND CONSONANTS
– Portuguese is rich in vowels - diphtongs, triphtongs
– English is rich in consonants – consonant clusters
problem: tendency to add extra vowel sounds to words
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PORTUGUESE AND ENGLISH
• VOWEL SOUNDS– English has long vowels and short vowels • not, go - cheap, chip
– Portuguese has vowels • bolo - chipe
problem - misunderstanding - minimal pairs
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PORTUGUESE AND ENGLISH
• RHYTHM
– Portuguese is syllable-timed
– English is stress-timed
problem - emphasis on wrong words- native speakers speak too fast
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PORTUGUESE AND ENGLISH
• WORD STRESS– Portuguese - stress on the last, one before the last,
two before the last syllable
– English - also three before the last syllable (approximately, category), double stress (understand)
problem - adaptation to Portuguese pronunciation
