RESUMO

The intonational annotation system proposed to Brazilian Portuguese (henceforth BP) was initially inserted in the intonational phonology research program. The BP annotation system used an adaptation of the phonological annotation, which consists in a linear annotation, based on formal aspects of the intonational curve. This research program adopts as fundamental basis the phonological representation of continuum acoustic parameters, preserved by the action of melodical primitives as targets, the functional register and the abstract alignment between the intonational curve and the linguistics material. The application of these parameters to the annotation of spontaneous speech in BP was not productive, and pointed out the necessity of a new annotation that combines formal and functional features on the description. This necessity justified the adoption of a new annotation in a new research program, the dynamical program. This paradigm adopts as fundamental basis the absence of phonological representations, presenting as melodic primitives the intonational contours, the speech range and the specific alignment between the intonational curve and the linguistic material. The BP dynamical intonational annotation, called DaTo – Dynamic Tones of Brazilian Portuguese –, proposes the focus description following the concept of dynamic contours, rather than the isolated tones concept, assuming that the intonation and focus in BP are produced by a dynamical system that ally phonation and articulation.
