- Abstract
This chapter considers some factors that condition elision of /a/ at word boundaries and their interpretation in terms of phonological theory. We focus on the behavior of sequences where the vowel to be deleted follows a high vowel, as in the example dia inteiro "whole day". The discussion is based on the perspective that the elision process is an effect of restrictions in conflict. In sequences of the /...ia #i.../ type, elision of the vowel /a/ yields a sequence [... ii...], which is a marked structure that is undone in other contexts, in Brazilian Portuguese, or has a blocking effect on phonological processes. However, elision is one of the preferred choices in these contexts (d[ii]nteiro), as show data from Ludwig Gayer (2008). The consequences of these findings for a non derivational approach to phonology are analyzed.
