2024 Chapter 4. A sociolinguistic study of the palatal fricative in Venezuelan Spanish Recent Developments in Hispanic Linguistics: Studies in structure, variation, and bilingualism, Gradoville, Michael and Sean McKinnon (eds.), pp. 96–119 | Chapter
The Spanish palatal fricative /ʝ/, a site of considerable social variation, is examined in Caracas, Venezuela, comparing productions across a 20-year period. Based on spectrographic and acoustic analyses, we identify four allophones of the palatal fricative. While approximant use in Caracas has… read more
2023 Chapter 5. The emergence of sound change in two varieties of Spanish: A usage-based analysis of variable trill /r/ production in Caracas, Venezuela, and Caguas, Puerto Rico Innovative Approaches to Research in Hispanic Linguistics: Regional, diachronic, and learner profile variation, Fernández Cuenca, Sara, Tiffany Judy and Lauren Miller (eds.), pp. 106–129 | Chapter
We examine social and linguistic factors, including lexical frequency, that influence variable production of the alveolar rhotic trill in Caracas, Venezuela, and the region surrounding Caguas, Puerto Rico. Two categories of rhotic productions are established: non-innovative trills with two or… read more
2021 Chapter 6. Complex attitudes towards two sociolinguistic variables and their social meanings: Providing evidence from production and perception data in a speech community Aspects of Latin American Spanish Dialectology: In honor of Terrell A. Morgan, Díaz-Campos, Manuel and Sandro Sessarego (eds.), pp. 125–154 | Chapter
This study considers attitudes about variable production of coda /?/ and syllable-initial /r/ in Puerto Rico. Two actors produced typical Puerto Rican allophonic variants of coda /?/ and syllable-initial /r/. Indirect attitudes of sixteen urban speakers were measured through a matched-guise task,… read more

2018 Chapter 10. Stable variation or change in progress? A sociolinguistic analysis of pa(ra) in the Spanish of Venezuela Language Variation and Contact-Induced Change: Spanish across space and time, King, Jeremy and Sandro Sessarego (eds.), pp. 223–245 | Chapter
Sociolinguistic analyses of pa(ra) “for” have found that both linguistic and social factors play a significant role in speaker use of the reduced (pa’) and full (para) forms (e.g., Bentivoglio et al. 2005). However, no study to date has analyzed the extent to which production of these forms is most… read more

This investigation extends the research on the use of Spanish copulas ser and estar in Venezuela to all [copula + adjective] contexts (see De Jonge 1993; Malaver 2000 for work on expressions of age). Findings reveal that resultant state, adjective class, predicate type, experience with the… read more

While much acoustic-phonetic evidence has accumulated which proves the existence of two phonetically distinct peak alignments (L+H* and L*+H) in Spanish declaratives, whether or not the two alignments are phonologically distinct remains a topic of debate. The goal of the present paper is to utilize… read more
