Overt PRO in Romance1. Introduction; 2. Overt PRO in Romance; 2.1 Emphatic pronouns are real subjects in OC infinitives; 2.1.1 Emphatic pronouns are not licensed by long-distance agree; 2.1.2 Emphatic pronouns are not lower pronounced copies; 2.2 Overt subjects in NOC infinitives; 2.2.1 Pronouns versus R-expressions; 2.3 The restriction of overt subjects to the postverbal position; 3. PRO = pro; 4. The overt/covert alternation of subjects in control; 4.1 Subjects, late insertion, and the syntax-pragmatics interface; 4.2 Pronouns versus lexical DPs: Why are they different?; 5. Conclusion.
Temporal and spectral dependencies in the processing of Spanish and English stop consonant voicing1. Introduction; 2. VOT and onset f0 in Spanish and English stop consonant voicing; 3. Perceptual interaction of VOT and onset f0 in stop consonant voicing; 4. VOT and onset f0: Spectral or temporal dependency?; 5. Methods; 5.1 The database; 5.2 The model; 5.3 The analysis; 6. Results; 7. Discussion; References; Segmental and prosodic conditionings on gradient voicing assimilation in Spanish; 1. Description of the phenomenon.
Studies have uncovered several non-standard trill realizations besides the multiple alveolar trill in different Spanish varieties (Lewis, 2004; Colantoni, 2006a; Willis, 2006; Díaz-Campos, 2008; among others). The present study adds to this body of literature by using variationist methods to analyze trill production in Panamanian Spanish. The sample consists of 608 tokens analyzed acoustically in Praat. Subsequently, multivariate analyses are carried out in Rbrul (Johnson, 2009). The acoustic analysis reveals eight variants, of which the most frequent is the normative trill with two or more oc.
