This research has as its main objective to describe the emergence of vowel interphonology involving Brazilian Portuguese (BP) and English-L2 as realized by Brazilian learners through a complex, multirepresentational and individual-based perspective. It aims to answer the research-question: how does BP/English-L2 interphonology emerge? It is hypothesized the construction of individual self-organized pathways by Brazilian learners. This study defends that the analysis of individual variation, normally discarded, offers new possibilities for linguistic analysis, deepening the knowledge associated to the buildup of BP/English-L2 vowel interphonology continuum. The theoretical paradigm is associated to a view of language as a Complex Adaptive System (CAS), alongside with multi-representational phonological models, Usage-Based Phonology (UBP) and the Exemplar Model (EM). As regards methodology, this is a cross-sectional study using a quasi-experimental design. Informants were selected among English-L2 learners in Mossoró-RN-Brazil. Results indicate the relevance of fine phonetic detail associated to English-L2 vowel realization by Brazilian learners as an aid to the understanding of individual pathways for building BP/English-L2 interphonology. Non-linear behavior was observed, characteristic of complex systems at the edge of chaos, with the emergence of phenomena hardly explainable through the use of traditional, reductionist and processes of a rule-driven phonological theory.
