This article describes some aspects of Spanish as the weak language of German-Spanish bilingual children growing up in Germany, which is officially a monolingual country. Weak domains are mainly found in the phonetics, but can also be found in the lexicon and in the morphosyntax. The article also… read more

Catalan includes voiced sibilants in its sound system, whereas Spanish only has voiceless ones. Subjects come from two areas of Barcelona differing in the degree of presence of… read more
2012 Monolingual and bilingual phonoprosodic corpora of child German and child Spanish Multilingual Corpora and Multilingual Corpus Analysis, Schmidt, Thomas and Kai Wörner (eds.), pp. 107–122 | Article
This article describes two longitudinal language corpora of child German and child Spanish. One of the corpora, PAIDUS, is comprised of the utterances produced by monolingual German and monolingual Spanish children, between the ages of 1 and ca. 3 years. The German children grew up in Hamburg… read more

This article describes a database of Spanish recorded speech comprised of four corpora. The corpora contain cross-sectional data of Spanish spoken in contact with German. The first corpus, ALCE-BLA (Bilingual Language Acquisition at school age), is comprised of the utterances of 23 Spanish-German… read more
2012 German segments in the speech of German-Spanish bilingual children Multilingual Individuals and Multilingual Societies, Braunmüller, Kurt and Christoph Gabriel (eds.), pp. 121–136 | Article
The production of segments in a first language (L1) has been reported to be different in bilingual children as compared with monolingual children. Often, consonants involve a delay in the bilinguals’ data (see, e.g., Lleó & Rakow 2006), whereas vowels are usually not associated with any delay (see… read more
2011 Phrase boundary distribution in Catalan: Applying the prosodic hierarchy to spontaneous speech Intonational Phrasing in Romance and Germanic: Cross-linguistic and bilingual studies, Gabriel, Christoph and Conxita Lleó (eds.), pp. 97–126 | Article
This article has three aims. First, to find out whether the Spanish influence on Catalan found at the segmental level (Lleó, Benet & Cortés 2009) is also to be observed in prosody, specifically with regard to phrasing. More sustained pitch and less continuation rise has been found in a Spanish… read more

Yes/no interrogative utterances in German and Spanish exhibit four comparable intonation points: a first peak, a falling F0, an L and a final H. However, there are differences regarding the alignment and scaling of H and L tones across the two languages. Yes/no questions by German and Spanish… read more
