Abstract:

The intense language contact between Spanish and Catalan in Catalonia
has led to cross-linguistic influence at all linguistic levels, but
its effect on the prosody of these languages has received little
attention to date. Based on semi-spontaneous and read speech data from
31 Catalan–Spanish bilinguals, this book provides a comprehensive
analysis of the intonation of Spanish and Catalan as spoken in Girona,
with a focus on the speakers’ bilingualism. These contact varieties
share numerous intonational properties, with differences mainly in the
frequency of specific tunes in certain contexts. However, they also
exhibit significant variation, often linked to extralinguistic factors
such as the bilinguals’ language dominance. Overall, the intonation of
these contact varieties results from substratum transfer and wholesale
convergence between the prosodic systems of Spanish and Catalan. The
book is particularly relevant to scholars researching prosody,
language contact, variation, and multilingualism.
