ResumoSyntactic haplology (SH) is a sandhi rule which eliminates one of two contiguous identicalor partially identical syllables in a sentence (caldo de cana > cal de cana). Interpreting the results ofa variable rule analysis of SH on southern Brazilian Portuguese data according to Optimality Theory(PRINCE and SMOLENSKY, 1993; MCCARTHY and PRINCE, 1993,1995) implied discussing thenature of SH, if coalescence or deletion, and the markedness restriction involved. SH can be interpretedas a deletion process motivated by the requirement of avoiding sequences of identical or partiallyidentical syllabes, which is expressed by OCP.
