Abstract

Intervocalic /s/ voicing is of much interest recently in Hispanic Linguistics for two principal reasons: this feature has been attested in diverse dialects of Spanish, and it has been shown to correlate in production and perception with social factors (Davidson 2014; Chappell 2016; García 2019; among others). One finding that often surfaces is that male speakers voice more than female speakers, and recent studies consider whether this may be due to physiological differences (File-Muriel, Brown, and Gradoville 2015; Chappell and García 2017). The present study examines the interaction of gender, age, and interspeaker variation in the voicing of intervocalic /s/ in the speech of 31 natives of Loja, Ecuador. While variationist studies overwhelmingly show women leading change in progress, I argue that young men are leading voicing in Lojano Spanish and that this study of a smaller, non-English speaking community further elucidates the intricacies of gender and linguistic change.
改变的种子
插入语/s/发音最近在西班牙裔语言学中引起了很大的兴趣,主要有两个原因:这一特征在西班牙语的不同方言中得到了证实,并且它在产生和感知方面与社会因素相关(Davidson 2014;Chappell 2016;García 2019;等等)。一个经常浮出水面的发现是,男性说话者的声音多于女性说话者,最近的研究考虑了这是否是由于生理差异造成的(File Muriel,Brown,and Gradoville 2015;Chappell和García 2017)。本研究考察了31名厄瓜多尔洛贾当地人在语音中发音间/s/的性别、年龄和语际变异之间的相互作用。虽然变异论研究压倒性地表明,女性在进步中领导着变革,但我认为,年轻男性在洛迦诺西班牙语中领导着发声,这项针对一个较小的非英语社区的研究进一步阐明了性别和语言变革的复杂性。
