An Acoustic Description of Aragonese Spanish
This paper aims to offer a comprehensive acoustic description of Aragonese Spanish.The analysis is based on spoken samples from 25 speakers of Aragonese Spanish.The current study includes an analysis of the phonetic characteristics of vowel, including diphthongs and triphthongs, of consonants and of prosody.Furthermore, the present paper also analyses the allophones of Aragonese Spanish and some phonetic processes, such as spirantization of voice…
Acquisition of segmental and suprasegmental features of Granada accent by long-term residents with L1 Polish
Second language pronunciation during immersion involves acquiring features of the local accent rather than just the standard accent. This study examines how well L1 Polish learners, who have lived in Granada for over 10 years, have adopted the local Eastern Andalusian Spanish accent. In Granada, consonants in codas are often deleted, and preceding vowels undergo various changes. The research compares vowel pronunciation between 51 native Granada …
Anti-hiatus tendencies in Spanish
Spanish normative grammar considers any two-vowel combination of /e/, /a/, and /o/ as a hiatus, accepting that they can be pronounced as a diphthong in lower basilects and/or informal registers. This article analyzes speeches of educated speakers, performing an acoustic analysis of 60 segmental and suprasegmental features in 493 vowel sequences. Linear mixed-effects models suggest that two-vowel sequences of /e/, /a/, and /o/ are pronounced as di…
Abha Arabic
Abha Arabic is a dialect of Arabic (ISO 693-3: ara), belonging to the Semitic language family group, and spoken primarily in Abha city. Abha Arabic can be broadly classified as a variety of Arabic from the Arabian Peninsula group (Versteegh, 2014), and further sub-classified as a south (-west) Arabian dialect (Ingham, 1982). Abha city is the administrative capital of the province of Asir, in south-west Saudi Arabia (Figure 1). The population of A…
Covariants of Gemination in Eastern Andalusian Spanish
In Eastern Andalusian Spanish, consonants are deleted in syllable-final position, triggering regular gemination of a following consonant, even across word boundaries. This paper investigates five underlying phonemic contexts involving /t/, including singleton /t/ and four different underlying /C+t/ sequences that typically surface as [t:], by analyzing how durational and formant differences vary depending on the presence and identity of the prece…
Eastern Andalusian Spanish
Eastern Andalusian Spanish (henceforth EAS), is spoken in the east of Andalusia, the southernmost autonomous region of Spain. EAS is most similar to Western Andalusian Spanish (WAS) and to Murcian Spanish, the latter spoken in the autonomous region of Murcia, immediately to the east of Andalusia, and it shares some phonetic traits with EAS, such as vowel lowering. Geographically, Eastern Andalusia includes the provinces of Almería, Granada, Jaén …

Consonant Deletion and Eastern Andalusian Spanish Vowels
Syllable-final consonant deletion has been widely documented in Eastern Andalusian Spanish, although the effects of consonant deletion on preceding vowels are still unknown. Studies analyzing syllable-final consonants in Eastern Andalusian Spanish have focused on /-s/, disregarding other consonants which are also deleted in this position. The present paper aims to extend this traditional focus by analyzing how /-s/, /-r/ and /-θ/ deletion affects…
Four low central vowels in Eastern Andalusian Spanish
Coda-final consonant deletion has been extensively documented in Eastern Andalusian Spanish; however, its effects on neighbouring segments is still unknown. Scholars working on consonant deletion in Eastern Andalusian Spanish have mainly focused on /s/, given the semantic importance of this consonant in Spanish. As a result, other consonants which are often deleted syllable-finally in this geolect have been studied to a much lesser degree. The pr…
The phonetics and phonology of Eastern Andalusian Spanish
Despite previous studies on Eastern Andalusian Spanish, interest on this geolect boomed only after the theory of vowel doubling was posited for this variety of Spanish. According to this theory, in Eastern Andalusian Spanish, vowels preceding /s/ aspiration or deletion change their quality, thus, carrying the semantic function of /s/. Since then, many researchers have studied the vowel and consonant systems of this variety of Spanish and the phon…
The acquisition of Spanish pronunciation by Welsh learners
Language teachers agree that the phonetic/phonological distance between a learner’s L1 and L2 is of vital importance in mastering the sounds of the L2; however, no attention is given to the phonetic/phonological distance between the regional variety of the speaker’s L1 and the L2. After comparing linguistic peculiarities of English, and of Welsh English in particular, with Castilian Spanish, the author proceeds to study the interlanguage of advan…
Teachers' attitudes towards Computer-Assisted Language Learning in Australia and Spain
A review of the existing literature shows that when it comes to studying attitudes towards CALL (Computer-Assisted Language Learning), researchers have traditionally focused on students’ perspectives and ignored teachers’ views. This study focuses on teachers’ attitudes towards CALL in order to gain a better understanding of what issues, advantages, and disadvantages teachers come across when incorporating CALL into their teaching. Furthermore, a…
La enseñanza de la fonética española en Escocia e Irlanda del Norte
This paper deals with one of the most frequently forgotten areas in the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language: pronunciation. The phonetic/phonological distance between the L1 and the L2 of the learners is of paramount importance to master the sounds of the L2; however, it is the phonetic/phonological distance between the dialectal region of the speaker’s L1 (DR1) and the L2 of the speaker that will have the biggest influence in this learning…
