CUNHA, Carla Maria; CAIAN, Tiago  e  SALES, Gabriel. INTERPRETATIONS FOR THE (h) AND (ɦ) SEGMENTS IN PHONOLOGICAL MODELS. Lingüística [online]. 2022, vol.38, n.2, pp.27-50.  Epub 01-Dez-2022. ISSN 2079-312X.  https://doi.org/10.5935/2079-312x.20220013.

The (h) and (ɦ) segments, in several theoretical interpretation, have their articulatory description placed in limbo, as neither conform articulatively as a vowel nor consonant segment. The impasse surrounding these sounds description resulted from interpretations and representations that are not adequate to their articulatory characteristics. Taking this into account, we aimed to problematize the interpretations of these sounds in the structuralist, generative standard and autosegmental (Feature Geometry) models. As methodology, we revisited the structuralist, generativist and autosegmental conceptions about the consonant status of a sound, in addition to checking the treatment given to (h) and (ɦ). As a result, we identified that structuralist phonology interprets the analyzed sounds as consonants, where as the standard generative and autosegmental lines interpret them as glides. For this reason, we propose changes in these sounds representation, for Brazilian Portuguese, based on the Feature Geometry, in order to acommodate phonetically and phonologically the analyzed segments.
