Abstract:

This volume explores several recurring topics in Romance phonetics and
phonology, with a special focus on the segment, syllable, word, and phrase
levels of analysis. An international team of experts and junior researchers
present research that ranges from the low-level mechanical processes involved
in speech production and perception to high-level representation and
computation, based on data from across the Romance language family, including
from varieties that are less widely studied.

The book is divided into five parts. In the first, chapters present acoustic
studies, examining topics such as Italian anaphonesis and voiceless fricative
sibilants in Galician, while chapters in part two turn to articulatory studies
of features including three-consonant onsets in Romanian and rhotic variation
in Tuscan Italian. The focus of the third part is perception, and includes
studies of perceived phrasing in French and perceptual cues for individual
voice quality, while part four examines phonological issues such as Galician
mid-vowel reduction and sibilant voicing in Spanish. Chapters in the final
part of the volume look at the effects of production and perception on issues
in language acquisition. The book draws on a range of experimental and
methodological approaches and will be of interest not only to scholars of
Romance linguistics but also to all those working in phonetics and phonology
from graduate level upwards.
