• W88553618 abstract "ABSTRACT. This pilot study tested Guitart's (2004) hypothesis that sequences of Spanish nonhigh vowels contained in underlying sequences of more than three vocoids arising from syntax would coalesce in a hybrid vowel. Specifically,/ea/would coalesce as [ae],/oa/as [e], and /oae/as [CE], and the emerging vowel would be the nucleus of a triphthong. The study analyzed spectrographically the phonetic realization in rapid speech by ten native speakers of seven different Spanish varieties of the sequences /joai/, /joao/, /woae/, /jeai/, /weao/, /jeae/ and /joaew/. Results, which were consistent across gender and speech rate and showed no significant dialectal differences, did not support the emergence of [ae] and [CE], but did support the emergence of [e] to serve as the nucleus of ali resulting triphthongs. Results also supported the existence of a constraint specifying that a Spanish syllable cannot contain more than three vocoids. 1. INTRODUCTION. The present study analyzed the phonetic realization in Spanish of adjacent nonhigh vowels contained in phonological sequences of more than three vocoids. Exclusively analyzed were sequences of four and five vocoids in which one of the three Spanish nonhigh vowels (i.e. /e/, /a/, and /o/) is in contact with at least another nonhigh vowel. The main hypothesis guiding the study concerned nonhigh vowel contact in sequences exceeding three vocoids. The hypothesis will be fully formulated in section 3, after the theoretical framework for the study has been set up. This study is intended as a contribution to the phonology and phonetics of vowel contact in Spanish. It explores the realization of nonhigh vowels beyond the citation forms of the words that contain them. 2. SYLLABIC CONTRACTION IN SPANISH. The citation form of a word is the phonetic shape that it has when pronounced in isolation in careful speech. In running speech it is common in Spanish for an utterance containing one or more sequences of vowels to have fewer syllables than the sum of the syllables of the citation forms of the words that compose the utterance. Hualde (1994) refers to this phenomenon as syllabic contraction. In traditional phonology the same phenomenon is called syneresis when it occurs within a word, and it is referred to as synalepha when it occurs across word boundaries. In dealing with syllabic contraction we are assuming that each word has an invariant phonological form that can be realized physically in more than one way. Phonetic variation depends on factors such as phonetic environment, speed of pronunciation, and degree of articulatory effort. We are also assuming that the citation form of a word is closest to the invariant phonological form of that word and in most cases it is virtually identical. It is assumed that syllabic contraction has occurred when the phonetic representation of an utterance has fewer syllables than its phonological representation. Syllabic contraction always makes reference to the phonetic representation of a vowel that is adjacent to one or more vowels at the phonological level. More specifically, in the underlying form, two adjacent vowels are in hiatus, in which case each one of them constitutes the nucleus of its own syllable. However, at the phonetic level, two options are available: a) two adjacent vowels may remain in hiatus (in which case syllabic contraction has not applied): e.g. ahi [a.i] 'there' or b) one of the two vowels is not represented by a vowel, in which case the number of syllables is reduced by one. In the section that follows we explore in more depth the second possibility. 2.1. TRIGGERS OF SYLLABIC CONTRACTION. Syllabic contraction is triggered by a variety of processes. More specifically, there are three different processes that achieve the goal of reducing the number of syllables at the phonetic level. One of the processes is deletion. As a result of deletion, one of the vowels in the underlying hiatus is not pronounced. …" @default.
