摘要:This article presents the results of an experiment on the production of Spanish (L2) word-final /e/ by Southern Brazilian learners. We aimed to the test the effects of two variables, i.e., cognate status and L2 experience in a formal teaching context (Group A: three years of study; Group B: between four and six years of study). The production of the final vowels of the target words, inserted in carrier sentences, were analyzed acoustically. The results showed an effect of language, which indicates that Spanish learners distinguish between the unstressed vowel /e/ in Portuguese and Spanish in terms of height and frontness/backness. However, no effect was found for cognate status and L2 experience. These results raise a discussion on the role of the cognate status variable in the oral productions of more experienced learners. --- DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.12957/matraga.2017.28550
