Resumen:

This accessible textbook provides a clear introduction to the sounds
of Spanish, designed specifically for English-speaking students of the
language. Assuming no prior knowledge of linguistics, it explains from
scratch the fundamentals of phonetics (the study of sounds) and
phonology (the study of sound systems) and describes in detail the
phonetic and phonological characteristics of Spanish as it is spoken
in both Spain and Latin America.

Topics covered include consonants, vowels, acoustics, stress,
syllables, intonation, and aspects of variation within Spanish. Clear
comparisons are made between the sounds of Spanish and those of
English, and students are encouraged to put theory into practice with
over fifty graded exercises. Setting a solid foundation in the
description and analysis of Spanish sounds, The Sounds of Spanish will
help students improve their pronunciation of the language, and will
also be useful to those studying the linguistic structure of Spanish
for the first time. All the sounds described in this book are
demonstrated on The Sounds of Spanish Audio CD included with this
book.
