摘要：In this work, based on Optimality Theory assumptions (PRINCE and SMOLENSKY, 1993; McCARTHY and PRINCE, 1993), we analyze how the stress assignment in Brazilian Portuguese occurs when words with high vocoids preceded or succeeded by a vowel are involved, in words like azeite and idioma. It is used here the term “vocoid” to describe an underlying segment that can be realized as a vowel or a glide. It was found that, in general, the high vocoid in the sequences under analysis only receives stress if it is stressed in the input. If the accent is not present in the input or if another segment receives stress in the input, there will be a preference for the realization of high vocoid as glide, since this allows achieving simultaneous satisfaction of constraints on the syllabification and stress assignment.
