Palatal vowels, glides and obstruents in Argentinian Spanish
The goal of this article is to contribute to our understanding of glides – their properties and distribution in underlying and surface representations, the range and the features of their various phonetic manifestations, and their role in the assignment of syllable structure and stress. Spanish provides a rich opportunity for carrying out this study because of the special properties of high vocoids in this language, which are systematically reali…

Spanish diphthongisation and stress: A paradox resolved
At the level of description, this study is concerned with the interaction of the rules of stress assignment in Spanish with rules governing the alternation of certain vowels with diphthongs. The descriptive discussion, in turn, relates primarily to two theoretical questions concerning the lexicon, namely, the role of null phonological segments in lexical representations and the nature of lexical diacritics that control the application of non-auto…
Syllable structure and stress in Spanish: A Nonlinear Analysis
"Voiced" versus [+ Voice] in Spanish Obstruents
lengua espaflola (Hispania, 61 [September 1978], 498-503), MAximo Torreblanca points out several apparent errors in traditional opinions and technical discussions of Spanish s. Among these is the treatment in my Spanish Phonology (SpPh)1 of the assimilation of /s/ to a following as in de[s']de versus ha[s]ta. I freely acknowledge that SpPh is indeed in need of correction in many respects, including the treatment of /s/. But Torreblanca's presenta…

Two Theories of Non-Automatic Morphophonological Alternations: Evidence from Spanish
Evidence from vowel alternations in Spanish is presented which bears on two theories of regular but non-automatic morphophonological alternations. On the ‘disjunction’ theory, alternating substrings of lexical entries are represented as disjunctions of surface alternants. The appropriate alternants are selected by rules triggered by the lexical disjunctions. On the ‘rule-feature’ theory, rule features are attached lexically to segments that have …
Remarks of diphthongization in Spanish
Distinctive Feature Theory and Nasal Assimilation in Spanish
A Note on Spanish Plural Formation
This is a reply to Mario Saltarelli’s ‘Spanish plural formation: apocope or epenthesis?’ (1970). It is argued that Saltarelli’s one substantive criticism of apocope, his central argument in support of epenthesis, and his defense against anticipated objections are all invalid
Sound Change in Spanish and the Theory of Markedness
Medieval Spanish had a complex system of strident obstruents. Slightly divergent paths of evolution of these segments have resulted in the major phonological differences between modern Castilian and Latin American dialects. These widely studied sound changes are here re-interpreted as changes in the sets of phonological rules of Castilian and American dialects. The role of the theories of markedness and linking, especially with respect to the fea…
