2026 Chapter 4. Using offline methods to probe the bi/multilingual acquisition of phonological and phonetic domains Quantitative Methods in Multilingual Acquisition and Processing, Klassen, Gabrielle and John W. Schwieter (eds.), pp. 56–80 | Chapter
This chapter summarizes the methods generally employed to characterize the phonetic behavior — including pronunciation (production) and listening (perception) — and underlying phonological representations of bilingual and learner populations. The chapter is divided into three main sections. The… read more
2020 Language dominance does not always predict cross-linguistic interactions in bilingual speech production Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism 10:6, pp. 847–872 | Article
The present study describes the results of two experiments that analyze the effects of language dominance on Catalan/Spanish bilingual speech production. We examined the acoustics of the Catalan [a]~[ə] alternation (a phonological process induced by lexical stress) and of the Catalan mid vowel… read more
2019 Chapter 9. Spoken word recognition and shesheo in Northwestern Mexico: A preliminary investigation into the effects of sociophonetic variability on auditory lexical access Recent Advances in the Study of Spanish Sociophonetic Perception, Chappell, Whitney (ed.), pp. 265–285 | Chapter
This study investigates the auditory lexical processing of the two main variants of “ch” (as in charco ‘puddle’) used in the Spanish spoken in northwestern Mexico. A feature of this dialect is the variable implementation of “ch” either as an affricate, [tʃ], or a fricative, [ʃ]. We designed an… read more
2010 Lenition and phonemic contrast in Majorcan Catalan Romance Linguistics 2009: Selected papers from the 39th Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages (LSRL), Tucson, Arizona, March 2009, Colina, Sonia, Antxon Olarrea and Ana Maria Carvalho (eds.), pp. 63–80 | Article
It has been claimed that in Majorcan Catalan /b/ tends to be realized as a stop in contexts where Central Catalan /b/ has approximant realizations. Here we test this claim using two continuous dimensions that we take as acoustic correlates of degree of constriction. We also examine the relative… read more
2010 Alveolar laterals in Majorcan Spanish: Effects of contact with Catalan? Romance Linguistics 2009: Selected papers from the 39th Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages (LSRL), Tucson, Arizona, March 2009, Colina, Sonia, Antxon Olarrea and Ana Maria Carvalho (eds.), pp. 81–94 | Article
This paper offers a sociophonetic profile of the production of alveolar laterals in Majorcan Spanish, a dialect of Spanish spoken in the island of Majorca, where Catalan is also spoken. Traditionally, Catalan alveolar laterals have been described as being “dark”, i.e. velarized, while (Peninsular)… read more
