Thesis (Ph.D.)--Indiana University, 2018.

People in different regions have certain ways of talking that set them apart from others. The study of dialectal variation allows examining what happens to linguistic systems as they diverge and allows for an investigation of the details of variability in parallel systems. As such, regional variation provides a window into the principles that underlie language differences, language innovation and language variation and change. This dissertation focuses on dialectal differences in Spanish with regard to word-final nasal consonants and anticipatory vowel nasalization.

520 $a People in different regions have certain ways of talking that set them apart from others. The study of dialectal variation allows examining what happens to linguistic systems as they diverge and allows for an investigation of the details of variability in parallel systems. As such, regional variation provides a window into the principles that underlie language differences, language innovation and language variation and change. This dissertation focuses on dialectal differences in Spanish with regard to word-final nasal consonants and anticipatory vowel nasalization.
520 $a Research on dialectal differences in Spanish repeatedly makes the observation that the dialects with a preference for velarized variants of /n/ (such as Caribbean dialects) have extensive anticipatory vowel nasalization, due to weakening of the word-final nasal consonant. Despite these long-held claims, comparisons across Spanish dialects are lacking. This dissertation fills this void by comparing production of word-final nasal consonants and anticipatory vowel nasalization in a Caribbean and in a non-Caribbean dialect of Spanish. In combining the analysis of both variables, this doctoral project permits the discussion of not only dialectal differences in the production of each acoustic feature, but co-variation between them as well.
520 $a In order to investigate these dialectal differences, I conducted a phonetic study of Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic, 31 speakers) and Buenos Aires (Argentina, 28 speakers) Spanish using a nasometer, a split-channel microphone system which records nasal and oral signals separately but simultaneously. Measurements of nasal and oral energy, as well duration, were extracted to characterize the time-course of nasality and weakening of the nasal consonant.
520 $a Dialect groups were found to differ in terms of the time-course of nasality, with Santo Domingo Spanish presenting earlier onset of velum lowering. Dialects were not different in terms of weakening of the nasal consonant. The analysis of the relationship between the time-course of nasality and nasal consonant weakening revealed that as the nasal consonant weakened, lowering of the velum took place earlier, and this trend obtained for both dialects. These findings, thus, confirm previous claims that Caribbean dialects of Spanish presented more extensive anticipatory vowel nasalization, but challenge previous descriptions of the process as a compensatory mechanism.
