Multilingual Hispanic Speech in California (MuHSiC)
Aims and Objectives / Purpose / Research Questions: This article introduces the Multilingual Hispanic Speech in California (MuHSiC) corpus. It addresses two primary questions: (a) how can a large-scale, open-access corpus be designed to capture the linguistic diversity of Spanish–English bilingualism in California, and (b) how can such a resource support reproducible research across linguistic subfields? Design / Methodology / Approach: MuHSiC wa…
On Catalan as a minority language
This investigation examines the variable production of alveolar laterals in Barcelonan Spanish as a case study evidencing the effects of language contact between a majority language, Spanish, and a minority language, Catalan. The Catalan-Spanish speech community constitutes a rather unique case of majority-minority language contact, particularly within the Spanish-speaking world, as Catalan, though a minority language in Spain, is characterized b…
Asymmetry and Directionality in Catalan-Spanish Contact
Multilingual communities often exhibit asymmetry in directionality by which the majority language exerts greater influence on the minority language. In the case of Spanish in contact with Catalan, the asymmetry of directionality, favoring stronger influence of Spanish as a majority language over Catalan, is complicated by the unique sociolinguistic statuses afforded to different varieties of Catalan. In order to empirically substantiate the socia…
Big Five personality domains and relationship satisfaction
Changes in Neuroticism accompany parallel changes in relationship satisfaction in a large sample of married U.S. adults, suggesting an ongoing bidirectional influence between these constructs in enduring marriages
The role of experience in the acquisition and production of diminutives and gender in Spanish
This study examined whether type of early language experience provides advantages to heritage speakers over second language (L2) learners with morphology, and investigated knowledge of gender agreement and its interaction with diminutive formation. Diminutives are a hallmark of Child Directed Speech in early language development and a highly productive morphological mechanism that facilitates the acquisition of declensional noun endings in many l…
