Phonology of the Prague Scholl - followed by Câmara Jr - did not leave followers between Brazilian linguists, since in this country we watched the hegemonic victory of the distributionalist Structuralism of North America. With its theoretical limitations and its exasperate empiricism, this perspective confined the treatment of the Brazilian Portuguese's Phonology and led to the abandonment of the most interesting intuitions of Mattoso's approach. It also impaired the treatment of the phonological component of great part of the native languages in Brazil, and at the same time, it was responsible for the formation of generations of linguists in our country. Its victory did not correspond only to an academic dispute, but it integrated a Latin American process of alignment with the United States, which, in Phonology, still survives.
