Previous work on stop consonant weakening, or lenition, in Romance languages has been discussed in terms of driving factors behind language variation and change; however, most of these studies do not provide data on the acoustic variability of stop consonants or the effects of linguistic (e.g., point of articulation, prosodic position, lexical stress) or extralinguistic (e.g., age, gender, and dialect) factors. My research acoustically and sociolinguistically analyzes Spanish's stop consonants /ptk/ and /bdg/ across multiple varieties, which generates a lenition continuum ranging from weak to strong as well as commentary on the current state of their variation across the Spanish-speaking world. The data set used for my dissertation, extracted from the Atlas interactivo de la entonacion del espanol (Prieto & Roseano 2009-2013) corpus, comes from the following regions: Spain, the Canary Islands, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, the Caribbean and the Andes. Trends show that while /ptk/ and /bdg/ remain distinct categories within each variety studied, the degree of consonant occlusion varies greatly inter-dialectally. For example, Mexican Spanish /ptk/ and /bdg/ are produced with greater occlusion whereas the same segments in some Peninsular and Caribbean varieties are much more open, with /bdg/ often experiencing total deletion. The data also shows a slight overlap of the production of the most radical, less occluded /ptk/ in Caribbean Spanish with the most conservative production of /bdg/ in Mexican Spanish, yielding implications for future work on consonant perception. Concerning age and gender, younger speakers as well as male speakers tend to produce less occluded, more open stop consonants. Overall, this investigation fills existing research gaps by making suggestive points regarding diachronic language change evidenced by synchronic consonant variation, the variation across multiple Spanish varieties, sociolinguistic effects on weakening and the geographical spread of consonant lenition.

520 $a El debilitamiento de consonantes oclusivas, o lenicion consonantica, en las lenguas romanicas se ha investigado para determinar los factores que motivan la variacion y el cambio linguistico. Los estudios previos disponibles, no obstante, no han sido capaces de proporcionar datos acusticos que abarquen la variabilidad en la produccion de consonantes oclusivas, asi como tampoco han logrado correlacionar este fenomeno con factores linguisticos (e.g. punto de articulacion posicion prosodica, acento lexico) y extralinguisticos (e.g. edad, sexo y dialecto). Mi estudio hace un analisis acustico y sociolinguistico de las consonantes oclusivas /ptk/ y /bdg/ en multiples variedades del espanol, lo cual genera un continuum de lenicion de debil a fuerte tanto como unos comentarios del estado actual de su variacion a traves del mundo hispanohablante.Los datos para el estudio actual, tomados del corpus Atlas interactivo de la entonacion del espanol (Prieto & Roseano 2009-2013) vienen de las regiones a continuacion: Espana, las Islas Canarias, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, el Caribe y los Andes. Los analisis preliminares indican que /ptk/ y /bdg/ permanecen categorias distintas dentro de cada una de las variedades del espanol, aunque el grado de oclusion puede variar notablemente entre diferentes variedades. Por ejemplo, /ptk/ y /bdg/ en el espanol mexicano se producen con mayor oclusividad mientras los mismos segmentos en dialectos peninsulares y caribenos exhiben menos obstruccion, inclusive hasta llegar al punto de exhibir perdida total. Los datos muestran tambien un solapamiento de la produccion radical de /ptk/ en el habla caribena y la produccion conservadora de /bdg/ en el espanol mexicano, lo cual tiene implicaciones para estudios futuros sobre la percepcion de consonantes. Al considerar la edad y el sexo, los hombres al igual que los hablantes jovenes tienden a producir consonantes con menos obstruccion. La presente investigacion llena vacios de investigacion actuales por coordinar un analisis acustico y sociolinguistico de los segmentos oclusivos /ptk/ /bdg/ con su realizacion a lo largo del plano geografico para asi revelar una conexion entre la variacion sincronica y el cambio diacronico.
