The present study focuses on the consonantal epenthesis in Brazilian Portuguese which appears in derived processes and is already current in written language. The data which compose the corpus was perceived through the research tool from the CD-Rom Houaiss dictionary, restricted to the suffixes -ada, -al and -eiro. These, among the other listed suffixes in grammar reference books, were considered the most productive according to consonant insertion, reason why they were chosen. The analysis, which is underlain on Lexical Phonology, starts from the assumption that /z/ is the default epenthetic consonant in Brazilian Portuguese for the base words ended in vowel from the root, and that /r/ is the default for the base words ended in thematic vowel.
