Gestural Coordination In Spanish /S/ Weakening: An Electropalatographic Study, Alexei Kochetov, Laura Colantoni

This study uses electropalatography to investigate syllable-final weakening of /s/ in Argentine Spanish. Results from 5 speakers from Buenos Aires show that the process applies consistently to /s/ before consonants, both within and across words. The phonetic realization of the fricative varies systematically as a function of place of articulation of the following consonant, and is to some extent affected by word boundaries and stress.
