Popis: This paper investigates the contexts in which stress allows or blocks external vowel sandhi processes in Lung’Ie, a Portuguese-based Creole language spoken in Príncipe Island, São Tomé and Príncipe. By analyzing the relationship between stress and tone in the sandhi processes, this research intends to demonstrate that the tonal pattern of Lung’Ie, such as described by Maurer (2009), does not block the phenomenon, which occurs in certain contexts of stress. We thus hope to further contribute to the understanding of the suprasegmental system of Lung’Ie and of the relationship between stress and tone in this language.
