Syllable-final and syllable-initial /s/ reduction in Cali, Colombia Brown & Brown 2012
Abstract
AI
AI
This study examines the phonological reduction of syllable-initial and syllable-final /s/ in Colombian Spanish, particularly in the Cali region. Although initial /s/ reduction is less documented compared to final /s/ reduction, evidence suggests that dialects in this region exhibit significant variability in their use of /s/. The research aims to fill the gap in existing literature by providing a comprehensive analysis of this phonetic phenomenon, contextualizing it within broader linguistic trends and exploring its implications for understanding regional dialects of Spanish.
Key takeaways

- The study analyzes 11,517 tokens of initial and final /s/ from 38 speakers in Cali, Colombia.
- Syllable-initial /s/ reduction is 12%, while syllable-final /s/ reduction is 36%.
- Key linguistic factors include preceding segment, stress, word frequency, following segment, and word position.
- Initial and final /s/ reductions operate as separate phonological variables, not as extensions of each other.
- Future research should explore initial /s/ reduction in other Spanish dialects to address existing data gaps.
