This paper investigates the historical and linguistic development of LS, challenging the prevailing view that its contemporary features represent vestiges of an ea…
A Comparative Analysis of Declarative Sentences in the Spontaneous Speech of Two Puerto Rican Communities
This paper applies the Autosegmental Metrical (AM) model of intonation phonology and the Spanish Tones and Break Indices (Sp_ToBI) annotation conventions to compare the intonational contours of declarative sentences in two varieties of Puerto Rican Spanish: (1) San Juan Spanish, spoken in the capital city of San Juan, and (2) Loíza Spanish, an Afro-Hispanic vernacular spoken in Loíza.
