Perspectives
This paper discusses the underlying nature of phonetic vowels in European Portuguese. Data from a dialect variation corpus were acoustically described (ALEPG) in what concerns the northwestern area of Portugal. It also deals with data from previous work on acoustic vowel variation in European Portuguese.
