[Resumen extraído de la fuente original]

This paper takes on two main objectives. The first is to present and depict the project Frontespo – Frontera hispano-portuguesa: documentación lingüística y bibliográfica [Spanish-Portuguese frontier: linguistic and bibliographic documentation], which aims at producing a comprehensive linguistic documentation of the frontier area between Portugal and Spain. The second objective is to study the stressed vowel systems of a specific border area located in the central interior part of Portugal, which, despite not having been subject to a detailed depiction up to this day, is decisive in understanding the constitution of Portuguese central-southern dialects as a whole, as recent studies have shown. The results are clear in (i) allowing for the description of the area’s vowel systems and (ii) improving our view on the history of central-southern Portuguese. This study therefore exemplifies the type of linguistic approach that a project like Frontespo allows for and, more importantly, the need for new, comprehensive language documentation projects in Portugal. Keywords: Language  documentation, Spanish-Portuguese  border, central-southern Portuguese vowel system, central interior Portuguese dialects. Palavras-chave: Documentação linguística, fronteira Portugal-Espanha, sistema vocálico do centro-sul português, dialetos do centro-interior português.
