Abstract
Esta tesis es un estudio de los fenómenos de refuerzo consonántico, entendido como un cambio en el desarrollo espaciotemporal de los gestos articulatorios —i. e. como una modificación (normalmente un aumento) de su duración, de su magnitud, o de ambas— como consecuencia de la estructura prosódica en la que se insertan; en concreto, por su contacto con una frontera de constituyente prosódico o por su aparición en una unidad relativamente prominente con respecto a otras del mismo nivel. Todas las lenguas poseen una estructura prosódica, que consiste en una organización de los elementos de contenido fonológico en una serie de unidades situadas en un nivel jerárquico progresivamente más alto. Así, los gestos articulatorios, de cuya combinación y abstracción resultan los distintos segmentos fonológicos, se organizan en sílabas, que se organizan pies, y estos a su vez en palabras, las cuales se agrupan en constituyentes cada vez mayores hasta formar un enunciado. Además, cada unidad tiene un núcleo, que es su constituyente más prominente y que sirve para señalar la presencia de dicha unidad. La estructura prosódica es relevante no solo por la organización del contenido fonológico, sino también porque sirve de interfaz con otros niveles lingüísticos, como el morfosintáctico o el semántico. Por ello es importante que los hablantes (y los oyentes) dispongan de claves que les permitan codificar (o decodificar) la jerarquía de los elementos que componen los enunciados. El refuerzo espaciotemporal de los gestos articulatorios situados en los extremos de los distintos constituyentes supone una marca fonética que pone de relieve la frontera entre unidades, del mismo modo que el refuerzo asociado a las posiciones prominentes ayuda a indicar el número de constituyentes que hay en un determinado nivel jerárquico de esa estructura. La otra cara inevitable de la moneda, el debilitamiento gestual en las posiciones centrales de un constituyente, señala la continuidad del mismo y, por ello, también proporciona información —a su manera— acerca de la estructura prosódica...
This dissertation is a study of consonant strengthening phenomena, which are understood as a change in the spatiotemporal development of articulatory gestures—i.e. a modification (usually an increase) in their duration, magnitude, or both—as a consequence of the prosodic structure into which they are inserted; specifically, due to their contact with a prosodic boundary or their appearance in a relatively prominent unit as compared to others on the same level. All languages have a prosodic structure, which consists of organizing elements of phonological content into a series of units situated in a progressively higher hierarchical level. Thus, articulatory gestures, whose combination and abstraction result in different phonological segments, are organized into syllables, which are organized into feet which, in turn, are organized into words, which are grouped into increasingly larger components until they form an utterance. Furthermore, each unit has a nucleus, which is its most prominent component and which serves to signal the presence of said unit. Prosodic structure is relevant not only in the organization of phonological content, but also because it serves as an interface with other linguistic levels, such as morphosyntax or semantics. Therefore, it is important for speakers (and listeners) to have keys which allow them to code (or decode) the hierarchy of the elements that comprise the utterances. The spatiotemporal strengthening of articulatory gestures located at the ends of the different components provides a phonetic cue that makes the boundary between units apparent, in the same way that strengthening associated with prominent positions helps to indicate the number of components in a specific hierarchical level of that structure. On the other hand, gestural weakening in the central positions of a component signals the continuity of said component and, therefore, also provides information (in its own way) regarding the prosodic structure...
