This paper reintroduces the discussion about stress-timing in Brazilian Portuguese (BP). It begins by surveying some phonetic and phonological issues raised by the syllable- vs stress-timed dichotomy which culminated with the emergence of the p-center notion. Strict considerations of timing of V-V units and stress groups are taken into account to analyze the long term coupling of two basic oscillators (vowel and stress flow). This coupling allows a two-parameter characterization of language rhythms (coupling strength and speech rate) revealing that BP utterances present a high-degree of syllable-timing. A comparison with other languages, including European Portuguese, is also presented. The results analyzed indicate that Major's arguments for considering Portuguese (sic) as stress-timing are misleading.A tese de R. Major, segundo a qual haveria evidências para se considerar o português brasileiro (PB) como stress-timing ou tendendo para tal, é rediscutida. As questões fonético-fonológicas suscitadas pela dicotomia de línguas stress-timed e syllable-timed e o suposto isocronismo absoluto são apresentadas sob um prisma estritamente prosódico-temporal. Um modelo empregando dois osciladores acoplados (acentual e silábico) possibilita a caracterização biparamétrica (taxa de elocução e força de acoplamento) de um conjunto arbitrário de frases de uma língua e permite mostrar que, em PB, há alto grau de syllable-timing. À luz de uma análise fonética mais cuidadosa dos fatores ligados ao ritmo, mostra-se que os argumentos apresentados por Major para justificar stress-timing em PB são completamente equivocados
