An introduction to Spanish phonetics and phonology

The course, after concisely presenting some basic sociolinguistic concepts, intends to outline the phonetic and phonological systems of contemporary standard Spanish. The fundamental concepts of Spanish phonetics, exemplified in detail with transcriptions, as well as those elements emerging from a contrastive analysis between the Italian and the Spanish systems, will be examined.
