SOUND VARIATION IN PORTUGUESE-SPEAKING AFRICA

Original language description

This chapter presents a comparative overview of phonetic and phonological variation and change phenomena in African varieties of Portuguese, focusing on the macro-varieties of São Tomé and Príncipe, Guinea-Bissau, Cabo Verde, Angola, and Mozambique. Although Portuguese is an official language in these countries, its status as a first (L1) or second (L2) language, as well as the rates of its speakers differ considerably. The emergence of these varieties is linked to the Portuguese expansion and the enslavement of Africans between the 16th and the 19th centuries. Each country presents a unique social and linguistic history, which is relevant to the linguistic outputs found in these varieties, situated in multilingual settings, and in contact with Niger-Congo and Portuguese-lexifier languages. The discussion focuses on the segmental (i.e., consonants, vowel, glides) and suprasegmental (i.e., syllable, stress, and intonation) levels, and addresses similarities and differences among these varieties, as well as the matter of contact-induced variation and change for several phonological processes. The discussion herein suggests that the study of phonetics and phonology of African varieties of Portuguese may shed light on familiar issues in Portuguese phonology, as well as provide previously unreported findings. © 2025 selection and editorial matter, André Zampaulo; individual chapters, the contributors.
