Declarative And Yes/No Question Intonation In Montevideo Spanish, Deborah Silva De Araujo Dec 2013

Declarative And Yes/No Question Intonation In Montevideo Spanish, Deborah Silva De Araujo

Stony Brook Theses and Dissertations Collection, 2006-2020 (closed to submissions)

This study offers for the first time empirical and theoretical data on the intonation of the Spanish variety spoken in Montevideo, the capital city of Uruguay. It proposes a phonological analysis of broad focus declarative and yes/no question utterances of simple, coordinated, and subordinated sentences recorded during fieldwork in Montevideo. The analysis relies on the Autosegmental-Metrical (AM) model (Pierrehumbert 1980) and the Sp_ToBI transcription system (Beckman et al 2002, Estebas-Vilaplana and Prieto 2009). The analysis of the F0 track shows that coordinated and subordinated sentences of both declarative and yes/no question utterances were parsed into utterance-medial IP (aligned with the …

Catalonia is one such region in which it is important to understand and be able to recognize the differences in the Spanish language production of bilingual Castilian/Catalan speakers as opposed to monolingual Spanish speakers. The subject matter of this study is the variation in the use of Spanish language in Catalonia. Catalan has been spoken in the history of …


On Spanish Loanwords And Loanblends In Hawal'i Creole English, Robert N. Smead Dec 2013

On Spanish Loanwords And Loanblends In Hawal'i Creole English, Robert N. Smead

Pacific Studies

Hawai'i Creole English (HCE) has been the object of much linguistic research. Virtually all researchers agree that its principal lexical sources include English, Hawaiian, and Japanese. Other languages, such as Chinese and Portuguese, have also contributed. To elate, however, few sources have considered Spanish as an important lexical source for HCE. The research reported herein attempts to remedy that oversight by considering ten putative loanwords and loanblends thought to derive from Spanish. These include ethnic markers associated with and local dishes brought by Filipino and Puerto Rican immigrants in the early twentieth century. By documenting cultural traditions and consulting authoritative …
