This accessible textbook provides a clear introduction to the
sounds of Spanish, designed specifically for English-speaking
students of the language. Assuming no prior knowledge of
linguistics, it explains from scratch the fundamentals of phonetics
(the study of sounds) and phonology (the study of sound systems)
and describes in detail the phonetic and phonological
characteristics of Spanish as it is spoken in both Spain and Latin
America. Topics covered include consonants, vowels, acoustics,
stress, syllables, intonation, and aspects of variation within
Spanish. Clear comparisons are made between the sounds of Spanish
and those of English, and students are encouraged to put theory
into practice with over fifty graded exercises. Setting a solid
foundation in the description and analysis of Spanish sounds, The
Sounds of Spanish will help students improve their pronunciation of
the language, and will also be useful to those studying the
linguistic structure of Spanish for the first time. All the sounds
described in this book are demonstrated on the audio resources that
accompany this book online.
