The phonetics of sociophonetics
The gradient nature of s -lenition in Caleño Spanish
Whereas previous studies of Spanish s -weakening have relied on impressionistic coding, the present study examines temporal and gradient acoustic details in the production of /s/ by eight females from Cali, Colombia, during sociolinguistic interviews. We propose a metric for quantifying s -realization by employing three scalar-dependent variables: s -duration, centroid, and voicelessness. The results of linear regressions indicate that the depend…
Lexical frequency as a scalar variable in explaining variation
This study examines the relationship between lexical frequency and s -lenition in Barranquillero Spanish, looking at lexical frequency as a scalar variable. A quantitative analysis of /s/ in words of different lexical frequencies, in which productions from a reading task were submitted to auditory acoustical analysis, reveals that the single most important factor in s-lenition is lexical frequency. Speakers tend towards a full articulation of /s/…
The role of lexical frequency and phonetic context in the weakening of syllablefinal lexical /s/ in the Spanish of Barranquilla, Colombia
The Spanish phoneme /s / has been of particular interest to Hispanic linguists and to Linguistics in general because it is produced in different ways across different varieties of Spanish, depending on linguistic, social, and stylistic factors (c.f. Poplack 1979, Terrell 1975, Cedergren 1973). In many varieties of Spanish, the sound undergoes a process of weakening. Only recently has research has been carried out regarding the role of lexical fre…
