Intonation in Language Contact
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.
The Continuity of Linguistic Change
The Continuity of Linguistic Change presents a collection of selected papers in honour of Professor Juan Andrés Villena-Ponsoda. The essays revolve around the study of linguistic variation and the mechanisms and processes associated with linguistic change, a field to which Villena-Ponsoda has dedicated so many years of research. The authors are researchers of renowned international prestige who have made significant contributions in this field. The chapters cover a range of related topics and provide modern theoretical and methodological perspectives, addressing the structural, cognitive, historical and social factors that underlie and promote linguistic change in varieties of Dutch, German, Greek, Italian, Spanish and Swedish. The reader will find contributions that explore topics such as phonology, acoustic phonetics and processes deriving from the contact between languages or linguistic varieties, specifically levelling, koineisation, standardisation and the emergence of ethnolects.
Fonética Y Fonología Descriptivas de la Lengua Española
The most up-to-date and comprehensive description of the Spanish language's phonetic and phonological system Though there has been considerable research in Spanish phonology, until now, no in-depth and complete descriptive reference work has existed. Fonética y fonología descriptivas de la lengua española Volumes 1 and 2 is a comprehensive reference, written in Spanish, describing the phonetics and phonology of Spanish. Edited by Juana Gil Fernandez and Joaquim Llisterri, this set provides a comprehensive overview for understanding segmental and suprasegmental topics in Spanish phonology, making clear what further research is needed. The international set of contributors in this essential...
Sing Romantic Music Romantically
There is a paucity of material regarding how choral music specifically was performed in the 1800s. The Historically Informed Performance (HIP) movement has made remarkable advancements in choral music of the Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical periods, with modest forays into the music of Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, and other early nineteenth-century composers; however, there are no sources with a comprehensive examination of how choral music was performed. Using more than one-hundred musical examples, illustrations, tables, and photographs and relying on influential, contemporaneous sources, David Friddle details the performance practices of the time, including expressive devices such...
The Routledge Handbook of Sociophonetics
The Routledge Handbook of Sociophonetics is the definitive guide to sociophonetics. Offering a practical and accessible survey of an unparalleled range of theoretical and methodological perspectives, this is the first handbook devoted to sociophonetic research and applications of sociophonetics within and beyond linguistics. It defines what sociophonetics is as a field and offers views of what sociophonetics might become. Split into three sections, this book: • examines the suprasegmental, segmental, and subsegmental units that sociophoneticians study; • reveals the ways that sociophoneticians create knowledge and solve problems across a range of theoretical and practical applications; ...

Una vida dedicada a la lingüística
L’afany de saber i un esperit lliure i crític, la introspecció en la docència i el rigor en la investigació, així com l’atenció als aspectes biobibliogràfics i un afinat sentit de l’humor, són algunes de les facetes que il·luminen aquestes pàgines de Ramon Cerdà, i que constitueixen un testimoni valuós per als amants de les llengües, del llenguatge i de la ciència que se n’ocupa.
AVANCES METODOLÓGICOS EN FONÉTICA Y PROSODIA
El presente volumen ofrece un panorama actual de los estudios fónicos realizado por cuarenta y ocho investigadores especializados en diversos aspectos de la fonética y la fonología de las lenguas románicas y de otras familias. Pero es también un tributo a Ana Ma. Fernández Planas (1968-2021), prolífica investigadora y alma del Laboratorio de Fonética de la Universitat de Barcelona durante más de 25 años. Los diversos capítulos abordan temáticas que han sido influenciadas por la rica producción científica de la doctora Fernández Planas y que de alguna manera han cambiado la manera de hacer fonética. Por eso, este volumen nos presenta avances metodológicos en prosodia y fonética, muchas veces poniendo de relieve la influencia de los trabajos de la Dra. Fernández Planas en las disciplinas que se abordan. En definitiva, supone una puesta al día para todos aquellos investigadores o entusiastas que busquen mantenerse informados sobre los progresos de la fonética en los últimos años.
