Abstract

In   this   paper,   we   investigate   the   development   of   the   duration   of   Standard   German (Hochdeutsch), concerning the vowels [yː] and [ʏ], produced by a young-adult native Brazilian speaker of German as L3 and English as L2. We analyzed the vowel data in terms of absolute and relative durations, in order to detect whether (or how) these vowels changed along the evaluated sessions. As a result of the analysis,  we  observed  modifications  on  the  production  of  both  vowels,  mainly  concerning  the  rates  of variability  in  duration, which  can  be  considered  to  be  the  first  step  to  developmental  changes  in  the speaker’s system.
