Abstract:

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.
