Abstract

In this paper, we aim to resume the discussion by Levi (2004) about the undelying glides and, from this, to discuss whether the underlying glide occurs in Brazilian Portuguese (BP). Starting from the partial predictability of the occurence of the glide, and the behavior of this segment in the process of palatization and in the alomorphy of diminutive, we reached the conclusion that there are only derived glides in BP, and this leads us to include this language, according to the tipology proposed by Levi (2004), as that in which, subjacently, there are only vowels, that can be realized as vowels or glides as well. Within this type, the BP would be classified as a “normal” language.
