Abstract:

The vast majority of phonetic research on Spanish segments has
examined either read speech or speech elicited under carefully
controlled conditions for the purpose of linguistic analysis.  While
such control is often necessary, one must be cautious in assuming that
the results of analyzing such data are representative of speaker
behavior more broadly.  By examining naturally occurring speech, this
book provides an overview of the range of speech productions of the
various sounds of Castilian Spanish that occur in spontaneous speech.
The expectation that a wider range of speech productions would be
found in spontaneous speech than has been claimed previously is borne
out throughout the chapters of this book.  While some groups of sounds
(e.g., nasals and liquids) showed little (though some) variation from
what has been claimed in previous work, many showed a considerably
wider range of realizations.  For example, vowels showed more
variability and overlap between categories than previously noted and
many of the obstruent productions included articulations that have not
previously been documented.  While no study of spontaneous speech can
include all speech styles and contexts, this book furthers our
knowledge of Castilian Spanish segments by documenting a wider variety
of productions than has been observed in previous studies.
