Abstract

The goal of this paper is the analysis of syllabic alternation on the timing and tonal patterns of lexical and phonological words. Prominences of nonprimary stresses [+ strong] versus pre-stress syllables [+ weak] versus primary stresses [+ strong] are studied through acoustic measurements on different speech styles: read texts and sentences (Colombia, Panamá) and semi-spontaneous and casual discourses (Argentina, Venezuela). The results are not consistent with prosodic alternation: syllabic prominences of similar degree occur in adjacent positions. The findings agree with data reported elsewhere on Canary Islands and American Spanish.
