However, cluster reduction due to violations to sonority scale hierarchy did not produce strong results. The presence of inflectional morphemes was also a determiner in coda reduction, with a clear preference for reducing words that had a past tense of plural marker. The results, as expected, showed a preference of short codas over long codas. Four subjects were asked to record a total of 320 words containing different types of clusters. We considered three phonological aspects: length of the codas, violation of the sonority scale and the presence of inflectional morphology. In previous studies, regularity has already been proved for several languages however, such studies for Spanish speakers are scarce. This paper reports on an attempt to find regularity in patterns in the reduction of syllable final clusters by English L2/Venezuelan Spanish L1 speakers. Sin embargo, la reducción de los grupos consonánticos debido a violaciones de la jerarquÃa en escala de sonoridad, no produjo resultados concluyentes.įonologÃa de lenguas extranjeras, inglés, aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras, estructura silábica La presencia de morfemas inflexivos también demostró ser determinante en las reducciones de codas, notándose una preferencia por reducir las palabras que tenÃan una marca de pasado o de plural. Los resultados, como se esperaba, mostraron una preferencia por las codas cortas. Participaron cuatro informantes grabando 320 palabras que contenÃan diferentes tipos de codas. Se consideraron tres aspectos fonológicos: la longitud de las codas, la violación de la escala de sonoridad y la presencia de inflexiones. En estudios anteriores, se han encontrado patrones de regularidad en varias lenguas sin embargo, son escasos los estudios sobre este aspecto con hablantes del español. This cross-linguistic description of patterns of s-clusters increases our knowledge of typical phonological development and helps selecting targets in clinical context.Esta investigación trató de establecer los patrones de regularidad en la reducción de grupos consonánticos a final de palabra en hablantes nativos del español de Venezuela que aprenden inglés como lengua extranjera. Patterns in cluster reductions were, in general, supportive of the factorial typology of Pater and Barlow, while pointing at some difficulties for the predictions of the headedness approach advanced by Goad and Rose, and Jongstra. While all four languages showed similar behaviour in reduction patterns, clear differences between the three Germanic languages-English, Dutch, and Norwegian-and Hebrew were found in the accuracy rate of #sC clusters that have a larger sonority distance between C1 and C2, in a binary split of /s/+ versus /s/+, and in #sC clusters versus non-/s/-clusters. In all four languages, a great deal of variability occurred both within and across children, but a number of general patterns were noted. Data from individual studies on English, Dutch, Norwegian, and Hebrew are compared for accuracy of production as well as the reductions with respect to potential differences across subtypes of #sC groups. This paper examines the findings and implications of the cross-linguistic acquisition of #sC clusters in relation to sonority patterns.
