On the phonetic realization and distribution of Costa Rican rhotics

The analysis of the Spanish data produced by speakers from the Costa Rican Central Valley evidenced that the trill has been substituted by an assibilated rhotic, while the tap also undergoes assibilation in three contexts: 1) in complex /tr/ onset clusters, 2) word-medially in complex onsets that co...

Additionally, the tap assibilates phrase-finally. The proposal is that the assibilation of the trill results from the cross-linguistic tendency to reduce the articulation process: instead of producing the trill which requires controlled, precise, and sustained movement of the tongue tip, the magnitude of the movement of the tongue tip is reduced, resulting in assibilation of the trill in all contexts. Assibilation of the tap is explained in terms of coarticulation.La muestra analizada del español producido por hablantes del Valle Central de Costa Rica evidencia que la vibrante múltiple ha sido substituida por una rótica asibilada, al tiempo que la vibrante simple también se asibila en tres contextos fonológicos: 1) en sílabas iniciales de más de una letra con la forma /tr/, 2) en posición intermedia en la palabra en sílabas iniciales complejas que aparecen después de una coronal sonora /l/ o /n/ y 3) en grupos de tipo /Cr/ en donde la rótica está en posición final, siempre presidiendo uno o más morfemas dependientes de clítico. La vibrante simple también evidencia asibilación al final de una frase. Se propone como posible explicación de tal asibilación de la vibrante múltiple la tendencia a nivel cros-lingüístico de reducir el proceso de articulación: en vez de enunciar la vibrante múltiple la cual requiere tensión controlada, precisa y sostenida del ápice de la lengua, se reduce la magnitud de movimiento en este lugar de articulación, resultando en una asibilación de la vibrante múltiple en todos los contextos. Por su parte, la asibilación de la vibrante simple se explica en términos de co-articulaciónUniversidad de Costa Rica2007-08-14info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextArticleartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/filyling/article/view/429910.15517/rfl.v32i2.4299Journal of Philology and Linguistics of the University of Costa Rica; Volumen 32, Número 2; 291-309Revista de Filología y Lingüística de la Universidad de Costa Rica; Volumen 32, Número 2; 291-309Revista de Filología y Lingüística; Volumen 32, Número 2; 291-3092215-26280377-628Xreponame:Portal de Revistas UCRinstname:Universidad de Costa Ricainstacron:UCRenghttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/filyling/article/view/4299/4123Derechos de autor 2014 Revista de Filología y Lingüística de la Universidad de Costa Ricaacceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-06-09T03:06:40Zoai:portal.ucr.ac.cr:article/4299Portal de revistashttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/Universidadhttp://www.ucr.ac.crhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/index/oaijorge.polanco@ucr.ac.crCosta RicaNo aplicaNo aplicaNo aplicaopendoar:2025-08-13T09:55:34.977Portal de Revistas UCR - Universidad de Costa Ricafalse
