DESCRIPTION:This study examines the role of orthography in the production
  of plural formation in English by Brazilian Portuguese speakers\, in re
 gards to both (1) epenthesis and (2) accuracy of the final sibilant. Two
  orthographic patterns were examined for English nouns whose plural is p
 ronounced as a voiceless (stop+sibilant) cluster: [ps\, ts\, ks]. One of
  the patterns presents two letters word-finally - cups\, cats\, marks - 
 whereas the other one presents a consonant which is followed by the lett
 ers “es”: grapes\, plates\, cakes. We posited that different orthographi
 c patterns of (stop+sibilant) sequences trigger different pronunciations
  for Brazilian L2 learners of English. Brazilian Portuguese also present
 s word-final (stop+sibilant) sequences which are related to two distinct
  orthographic patterns. Some few nouns in the singular present two lette
 rs word-finally – biceps\, volts – or the letter ‘x’ which corresponds t
 o [ks]: xerox. On the other hand\, as a consequence of an ongoing sound 
 change\, (stop+sibilant) sequences are currently very productive in plur
 al Brazilian Portuguese nouns: crepes\, potes\, cheques. A picture-namin
 g experiment was designed to test the production of (stop+sibilant) clus
 ters in L2 English. Results suggest that English learners tend to pronou
 nce a vowel when the orthographic pattern is (consonant+vowel+sibilant).
  Results are discussed in the light of proposals which suggest that phon
 ological and orthographic representations are activated and compete in L
 2 production. The role of L1 phonetic variability in second language acq
 uisition is also addressed. Finally\, some suggestions for teaching the 
 pronunciation of plural of English nouns is presented.
