Description
This chapter focuses on hiatus resolution processes across Portuguese dialects, extending the authors' observation of central vowels’ hiatus when V2 is stressed to hiatus formed by other vowels and in varying stress conditions (Oliveira, Paulino, Cruz & Vigário 2014; Paulino & Frota, 2014).
