The data come from AVOC - Atlas Acústico do Vocalismo Tónico Português = Acoustic Atlas of Portuguese Stressed Vowels. This new information demands that traditional ideas on the above-mentioned vowel be revised. This fact has decisive consequences on the classification of Portuguese central-southern dialects, and is taken as a paradigmatic case of the need of a new methodological approach to the study of Portuguese dialects.porDialectologia acústicaDialectos portugueses do Centro-SulVocalismo tónicoVogal ubook part
