Abstract

The aim of this study was to identify how multilingual speakers of Portuguese (L1), English (L2) and German (L3) perceived the psychotypological relationships among these languages. Based on the work developed by Hall et al. (2009), Lindqvist (2015) and Sánchez and Bardel (2016), a psychotypological questionnaire was developed. The purpose of using the task considered the participants' perceptions regarding the orthographic, phonic-phonological and grammatical relations, which are established among languages. As hypotheses for the study, we considered that the participants would access the English-German language pair, in general terms, as more similar. Regarding the orthographic aspects, we assumed that the Portuguese-German pair would be understood as distant. Still, we idealized that in phonic-phonological terms, the English-German combination was chosen as the closest by the participants. Regarding the grammar of languages, the Portuguese-English pair would be understood as the closest. After collecting and analyzing the data obtained, the results indicated that the hypotheses raised were in line with most of the assessments made, being the only exception regarding the syntax of languages. According to the participants, the English-German combination has greater syntactic similarities and not the Portuguese-English pair.
