Chilean Spanish Intonational Plateaus and Their Pragmatic Functions
Intonational plateaus exist in Chilean Spanish in contexts in which they do not exist in any other variety of Spanish. Mapudungun, which has been in contact with Chilean Spanish for centuries, also has plateaus in similar contexts, although for years, the possibility of any influence of Mapudungun on Spanish has been largely dismissed. The present study examines the discourse contexts in which intonational plateaus occur in both Chilean Spanish a…

Production of Acoustic Correlates of Stress by L2 Spanish-Speaking Immigrants to Spain
Little work has examined the L2 acquisition of Spanish stress, and especially the production of its acoustic correlates, and the work that has is largely limited to inexperienced learners. This study examines the production of stress by L1 English/L2 Spanish speakers who are highly experienced with their L2, having lived much of their adult lives as immigrants in Spain. Data were collected from the reading of a short story, an extended reading wi…
L2 Acquisition of Spanish VOT by English-Speaking Immigrants in Spain
Previous studies of native English speakers learning Spanish as a second language (L2) document compromise voice onset time (VOT) values; however, the focus has been predominantly on voiceless stops and has almost exclusively investigated beginning and intermediate learners. This study fills a gap in the literature by considering the acquisition of VOT in both voiceless and voiced Spanish stops by long-time native English-speaking residents of Sp…
Ultimate attainment in Spanish spirantization
This study examines the acquisition of the Spanish spirantization of /b/, /d/ and /g/ by a group of very advanced L2 learners who immigrated to Spain from the United States and have lived in central Spain for many years. While spirantization has received considerable attention in previous L2 research on Spanish, the participants in previous studies have typically been newer learners of Spanish, typically studying at the university level. By exami…
Sp_ToBI and the Phonological Analysis of Spanish Intonation
A Spanish version of the Tones and Break Indices framework for the phonological analysis of intonation, Sp_ToBI, has existed, in one level of development or another, for over a decade. The early, preliminary system was incomplete, but since, the system has been revised and expanded to the point of being a fully developed analytical tool. With recent work, Sp_ToBI has come into its own and now has a significant place in research on Spanish intonat…
Second Language Spanish Vowel Production
Findings from a cross-sectional study of the Spanish vowel productions of sixty adult second language learners of Spanish are presented in this article. The data set is based upon digitally recorded readings of an authentic Spanish-language short story. An acoustic examination of F1 and F2 values was carried out on twenty tokens of each vowel, 10 in stressed syllables, 10 in unstressed. The findings show that learners in the early stages of their…
The Necessity of Both Naturally-Occurring and Elicited Data in Spanish Intonational Phonology
In Spanish intonational phonology, as well as intonational phonology more generally, far more work has been carried out using elicited data than naturallyoccurring data. This is to be expected given the complexities of intonation in naturally-occurring speech and the many factors that affect it. Examining intonation in a more controlled context allows an understanding of it that can serve as a starting point for the examination of intonation in n…
Guide to the Phonetic Symbols of Spanish
"Reference work presenting phonetic symbols that have been used to represent the sounds of Spanish in linguistics. Includes entries for over 450 phonetic symbols discussing common and uncommon usages. Also includes discussion of the Spanish sound system, symbol charts, glossary, and references"--Provided by publisher
Cognitive factors in the perception of Spanish stress placement
Four cognitive factors potentially influencing the perception of Spanish stress placement are examined experimentally through a nonce word perception task, and the results are considered from the perspective of their implications for a psychological model of perception. The four factors considered for a potential influence on the perception of Spanish stress placement are segmentally similar words, syllable weight, subregularities in the lexicon,…
Lexical and Acoustic Factors in the Perception of the Spanish Diphthong vs. Hiatus Contrast
The present study considers the case of exceptional hiatus which recent literature reports to exist in the syllabification of certain vocoid sequences in Peninsular varieties of Spanish. The potential influence of lexical and acoustic factors on the perception of the syllabification of these vocoid sequences is considered. It is shown that both lexical and acoustic factors influence perception. An experiment was conducted to determine the relativ…
Spanish evidence for pitch-accent structure
This paper considers the ability of the standard view of the pitch accent and two alternative views to account for the tonal-alignment data of two bitonal rising pitch accents in Spanish (one of which is used in cases of broad focus and the other in cases of contrastive focus). It is shown that there is a difference in the relationship between the tones from one pitch accent to the other. The standard view of the pitch accent, which does not assu…
