“…But we cannot ignore the role of linguistic factors along with social ones. If Murcian speakers were to re-introduce post vocalic /s/ and non-assimilated consonants in clusters, then the /ae/, /ɛ/ and /ɔ/ vowels -which currently occur in environments of /s/ deletion and assimilated clusters -would probably be subject to change and would perhaps even revert to their historic form, causing the eight-vowel system to collapse back into a five-vowel system (see Hernández-Campoy & Trudgill 2002). And certainly the re-introduction of /s/ would result in morphosyntactic change, since currently some important morpho syntactic distinctions, such as plurality and person, are marked with vowel quality in spoken Murcian Spanish, not with -s endings.…”

“…In radio Although our analysis focuses on consonant features, it is important to note that Murcian Spanish has a vowel system with eight distinctive sounds. The vowels /ε/, /ɔ/ and /ae/ are the result of (i) the historic loss of word-final consonants after /e/, /o/ and /a/, respectively, with the exception of /a/ preceding deleted /d/, as in the pronunciation of verdad 'truth' as [berˈða], and (ii) assimilation of word-internal consonant clusters (see Hernández-Campoy & Trudgill 2002).…”

“…There is vowel harmony with /ε/, /ɔ/ and /ae/, and the occurrence of these vowels at any point in a word prohibits /e/, /o/ and /a/, respectively, in any preceding syllable, with the exception of close vowels /i, u/ (Hernández- Campoy & Trudgill 2002). A word such as mañanas is therefore pronounced as /maeˈɲaenae/ rather than /maˈɲanas/.…”

In dialect contact situations, hyperdialectisms are a common form of hyperadaptation. They are the result of the production of overgeneralised forms in non-standard dialects due to bad analysis. They occur either because of insufficient knowledge about a given linguistic feature or because of excessive effort to show vernacular identity. Adopting the framework of Speaker-Design Theory, which assumes that speakers mould their speech to project a particular image, the present article shows the use of the related phenomenon of hypervernacularisation. This refers to non-standard forms used correctly, though inappropriately, according to socio-demographic and/or stylistic parameters. Though both hyperdialectism and hypervernacularisation are linguistic processes resulting from dialect contact, hyperdialectism is related to incorrectness, whereas hypervernacularisation is associated with inappropriateness. The unexpected use of vernacular forms by an upper-class speaker in non-informal contexts appears to be a strategy to project downward social mobility and a working-class image.

“…Murcian Spanish, like Andalusian, can best be considered as a southward extension of varieties originating in the central-north areas of the Iberian Peninsula (see Alvar, 1996;Hernández-Campoy & Jiménez-Cano, 2003;Hernández-Campoy & Trudgill, 2002;Lapesa, 1988;Zamora-Vicente, 1989).…”

The present study analyzes the speech of a radio presenter in a local station in Murcia and compares it to the audience's linguistic behavior as shown in the phone calls received during the program. We also analyze the data obtained in an interview with the radio presenter. Our results, which show a radical divergence between the presenter's speech and that of his audience, are contrasted with both Audience Design and Speaker Design theoretical tenets, using the explicit knowledge of the presenter's attitudes and opinions to contrast theory and fact. We conclude that neither model offers a completely satisfactory explanation of the patterns found. Finally, we reflect on the need to consider not only performance, but also the script (in the form of a professional voice used following a particular linguistic policy based on sociolinguistic norms and attitudes to language) that condition the individual linguistic behavior, thus suggesting the need to consider community-specific factors in the explanation of stylistic variation.

“…Spanish has been studied within the theoretical framework of the functionalist hypothesis (e.g., Hernández-Campoy & Trudgill, 2002;Ma & Herasimchuk, 1971;Poplack, 1981;Terrell, 1979) since it functions as a plural marker for nouns, and in the context of resyllabification (e.g., Harris, 1983;Hualde, 1991) as a loss of syllable-final /s/ goes along with a change in syllable structure from CVC to CV.…”

On the Origin of Post-Aspirated Stops: Production and Perception of /s/ + Voiceless Stop Sequences in Andalusian Spanish

The present study investigates the role of articulatory and perceptual factors in the change from pre-to post-aspiration in two varieties of Andalusian Spanish. In an acoustic study, the influence of stop type, speaker age, and variety on the production of pre-and post-aspiration was analyzed in isolated words produced by 24 speakers of a Western and 24 of an Eastern variety, both divided into two age groups. The results confirmed previous findings of a sound change from pre-to post-aspiration in both varieties. Velar stops showed the longest, bilabials the shortest, and dental stops intermediate pre-and post-aspiration durations. The observed universal VOTpattern was not found for younger Western Andalusian speakers who showed a particularly long VOT in /st/-sequences. A perception experiment with the same subjects as listeners showed that post-aspiration was used as a cue for distinguishing the minimal pair /pata/-/pasta/ by almost all listeners. Production-perception comparisons suggested a relationship between production and perception: subjects who produced long post-aspiration were also more sensitive to this cue. In sum, the results suggest that the sound change has first been actuated in the dental context, possibly due to a higher perceptual prominence of post-aspiration in this context, and that post-aspirated stops in Andalusian Spanish are on their way to being phonologized.
