Given that this volume is inspired by papers from the 25th iteration of the Hispanic Linguistics Symposium, the editors track the development of the field in the last quarter century and have organized the volume into three sections (linguistic structure and variation, US Spanish and heritage speakers, applied linguistics) reflecting current research trends. This edited volume will be a welcome resource for advanced undergraduate students, incoming and advanced graduate students, and researchers in the field, as well as Spanish language educators at all levels. 41 10 4 2024 9 25 2024 9789027215918 9789027246509 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam 10.1075/ihll.41 http://www.jbe-platform.com/content/books/9789027246509 https://www.jbe-platform.com/deliver/fulltext/9789027246509.pdf https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/ihll.41/html Rachel S.

In the present study, 43 Spanish heritage speakers heard 40 Spanish words containing word-medial /ɾ/ with a closure duration between 22 ms and 85 ms. Using two types of tasks, a 2AFC heatmap categorical task and continuous rating Visual Analog Slider, listeners indicated whether they perceived a word containing /ɾ/ or /r/. Results of a binomial linear regression suggest that as closure duration increases, the probability of perceiving the phonemic trill increased significantly ( β  = −1.289, p  < 0.001), with type of bilingualism and word-pair also being significant. 10 4 2024 9 25 2024 122 150 10.1075/ihll.41.05gar https://benjamins.com/catalog/ihll.41.05gar https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/ihll.41.05gar/html Spanish heritage language learners in Canadian high school Spanish classes: Negotiating ethnolinguistic identities and ideologies Abdi 2009 10.46538/hlj.13.2.2 10.1016/j.wocn.2018.04.002 10.1121/10.0015201 10.1111/1467-9280.00444 10.1016/j.jml.2007.11.001 4th Annual Symposium on Spanish as a Heritage Language, UC Irvine Bajorek 16 2017 Pronunciation, identity, & linguistic insecurity: Spanish heritage and non-heritage students Heritage language teaching: Research and practice Beaudrie 2014 10.1093/applin/amu031 Bilingual Language Profile: An easy-to-use instrument to assess bilingualism Birdsong 2012 10.3390/languages6020108 Praat: doing phonetics by computer Boersma 2020 Selected Proceedings of the 15th Hispanic Linguistics Symposium Boomershine 103 2013 The perception of English vowels by monolingual, bilingual, and heritage speakers of Spanish and English 10.4324/9781003153948-9 Estudios de Fonética Experimental Bradley 21 43 2012 Rhotic variation and contrast in Veracruz Mexican Spanish 10.3390/languages5040061 10.46538/hlj.15.2.1 10.1075/ihll.21.09cha 10.1075/jslp.17034.cha 10.5744/shl.2021.1131 10.3390/languages5040051 Corpus of News on the Web (NOW) Davies 2016– Corpus del Español: Web/Dialects Davies 2016– 10.1006/jpho.1998.0077 10.21283/2376905X.8.128 Selected Proceedings of the 7th Conference on the Acquisition of Spanish and Portuguese as First and Second Languages Face 47 2006 Intervocalic rhotic pronunciation by adult learners of Spanish as a second language 10.1017/9781108886901.002 10.1111/j.1540-4781.1997.tb05495.x 10.1075/lab.5.3.01hen The R graph gallery Holtz 2018 The sounds of Spanish Hualde 2014 Spanish in four continents: Studies in language contact and bilingualism Hudson 165 1995 The many faces of language maintenance: Spanish language claiming in five Southwestern states 10.31819/9783865278692-009 Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance Kapnoula 43 9 1594 2017 Evaluating the sources and functions of gradiency in phoneme categorization: An individual differences approach 10.18217/kjhs.4..201111.1 10.46538/hlj.15.1.3 10.1016/j.wocn.2016.08.006 A course in phonetics Ladefoged 2015 10.1044/1092-4388(2007/067) 10.1075/rllt.9.15maz 10.1075/ihll.27.14mel 10.1353/lan.2016.0019 10.1002/9781444393446.ch29 Sintagma Rao 26 37 2014 On the status of the phoneme /b/ in heritage speakers of Spanish 10.4324/9781315228112-24 10.4324/9780429443657-3 Nueva gramática de la lengua española: Fonética y fonología Real Academia Española (RAE) 2011 10.1163/15507076-12340005 Selected proceedings of the 15th Hispanic Linguistics Symposium Ronquest 151 2013 An acoustic examination of unstressed vowel reduction in heritage Spanish 10.4324/9781315735139-11 Selected Proceedings of the 2008 Second Language Research Forum Rose 181 2010 Differences in discriminating L2 contrasts: A comparison of Spanish taps and trills RStudio: Integrated development for R RStudio Team 2020 Languages, Literatures and Cultures Faculty Scholarship Sayahi 20 13 2016 El español en los Estados Unidos: Panorama de Estudios Sociolingüísticos 10.1017/S0272263117000328 10.3766/jaaa.16094 10.3390/languages5040050 American Community Survey US Census Bureau 2019 10.1111/j.1540-4781.2005.00314.x 10.1007/978-3-319-24277-4 Selected proceedings of the 9th Hispanic Linguistics Symposium Willis 121 2006 Trill variation in Dominican Spanish: An acoustic examination and comparative analysis Southwest Journal of Linguistics Willis 24 185 2007 An initial examination of Southwest Spanish vowels Selected proceedings of the 3rd Conference on Laboratory Approaches to Spanish Phonology Willis 87 2008 Contrast maintenance of taps and trills in Dominican Spanish: Data and analysis 10.1121/1.2902168
