Abstract. This work addresses the question of modeling the stress
contours of Brazilian and Modern European Portuguese as high order Markov
chains. We discuss three criteria to select the order of the chain: the {\sl
Akaike's Information Criterion}, the {\sl Bayesian Information Criterion} and
the {\sl Minimum Entropy Criterion}. A statistical analysis of a sample of
spontaneous speech from both dialects, indicates that the corresponding Markov
chains have the same order, but with different laws.
