“…Still inside words, in languages like BPor, EPor and Catalan high vowels followed by another vowel in posttonic position obligatorily surface as glides. In this group of languages, while semivocalization is in general optional pretonically, it is obligatory in postonic position, as in família 'family' (d' Andrade/Viana 1994;Frota 2000;Mateus/d'Andrade 2000;Cabré/Prieto 2004;Simonet 2005). 4 When V1 and V2 belong to different words, phrase-level prominence may also determine whether semivocalization may apply or not.…”

Various areas of segmental phonology in the Romance languages are revealing about the architecture and functioning of grammar and phonological component. This chapter presents a selection of phenomena from different Romance languages, especially Ibero-Romance, that illustrate main interactions of segmental phonology with other parts of phonology (essentially, suprasegmental features and prosodic structure), as well as with morphology and the lexicon. Specific segmental phenomena related to word frequency and loan words are also discussed.

“…For example, Hualde and Prieto (2002) established that the acoustic difference between Spanish diphthongs and hiatuses lies in the mean duration values of the two vocoids. Cabré and Prieto (2004) provide a broad empirical study of the present-day lexical distribution of the rising diphthong/hiatus alternations in Central Catalan and represent the results in the form of OTed tableaux. They contend that "the tendency to contract vowels into rising diphthongs in Catalan can be regarded as a process closely guided by competing prosodic and analogical conditions, i.e., by forces which optimise prosodic structure and by forces which tend to keep identity relations" (Cabré and Prieto 2004: 115).…”

This study sets out to determine the differences in the phonological representation of RP English and Castilian Spanish diphthongs. The analysis brings to light the discrepancies in the criteria for classifying a vocalic cluster as a diphthong. A functional explanation for the differences between Spanish and English complex nuclei in provided in Beats-and-Binding framework (the model developed by Dziubalska-Kołaczyk 1995, 2002a. The discussion also shows that English and Spanish glides phonologically differ by their ability/inability to propagate a n→B binding. The conclusion is that "diphthong" is an ad-hoc notion which denominates completely different phonological entities in English and Spanish. What follows, it could be successfully supplanted by the functional term "complex beat".

“…These two segments are known to pattern with vowels in some languages, where they alternate with the corresponding high vowels [i] and [u]. This is the case, for example, in many Romance languages (e.g., Spanish-Hualde, 1999;Hualde and Prieto, 2002;Romanian-Chitoran, 2001;Hualde and Chitoran, 2003;Catalan-Recasens, 1991 Cabré andPrieto, 2004).…”
