“…These results are similar to those reported in Hammond (1978) for Miami-Cuban Spanish and in Figueroa (2000) for Puerto Rican Spanish, but they contradict Alemán (1977), who does not report any compensatory lengthening in vowels preceding deleted /s/. Likewise, Carlson's (2012) results oppose those presented by Gerfen and Hall (2001), Gerfen (2002), Bishop (2007), and O'Neill (2010), who believe that the cue to recognise word-medial /s/ deletion lies in the gemination of the consonants.…”

“…Bishop (2007) asserted that increasing the closure duration is a cue to underlying /p/, as it made more people perceive the word hasta 'until' as apta 'capable'; however, increasing the length of aspiration had no effect on the judgment of the listeners. The results presented in Gerfen and Hall (2001), Gerfen (2002), Bishop (2007), andO'Neill (2010) showed that the cue to recognise word-medial /s/ deletion lies in the gemination of the consonants, giving gemination a more important role than the secondary one given to it by earlier researchers (e.g. Mondéjar Cumpian, 1979).…”

“…Rodríguez-Castellano and Palacio (1948a) and Alonso et al (1950) considered /a/ longer in plural than in singular. Likewise, Alonso et al (1950) Gerfen (2002) claimed that the duration of aspiration tends to become shorter as the voiced portion of the vowel becomes longer. Peñalver Castillo (2006) reported something similar in Cabra, claiming that vowels are shorter when /s/ is aspirated than when it is not.…”

“…Furthermore, Gerfen (2002) posited that vowels are significantly longer when /s/ is aspirated only if we consider the period of aspiration after the vowel to be part of the vowel gesture.…”

“…As Bishop (2007) explained, other works, such as Gerfen and Hall (2001) and Gerfen (2002), had studied how duration differences in /s/ aspiration represent a case of incomplete neutralisation; nevertheless, Bishop (2007) provided the first analysis of the perceptual consequences of such durational differences. Bishop (2007) asserted that increasing the closure duration is a cue to underlying /p/, as it made more people perceive the word hasta 'until' as apta 'capable'; however, increasing the length of aspiration had no effect on the judgment of the listeners.…”

Despite previous studies on Eastern Andalusian Spanish, interest in this geolect boomed only after the theory of vowel doubling was posited for this variety of Spanish. According to this theory, in Eastern Andalusian Spanish, vowels preceding /s/ aspiration or deletion change their quality and, as a result, carry the semantic function of /s/. Since then, many researchers have studied the vowel and consonant systems of this variety of Spanish and the phoneticphonological debate is still ongoing. This article reviews the main studies on Eastern Andalusian Spanish pronunciation between 1881 and 2016, comparing the different findings in that period and summarising them chronologically. The article finishes with an outline of widely accepted and debated features of Eastern Andalusian Spanish in order to identify future lines of research.Keywords: Eastern Andalusian Spanish, dialectology, vowel doubling, vowel harmony, Andalusian consonants Resumen A pesar de numerosos estudios previos sobre el andaluz oriental, el interés en este geolecto no se intensificó hasta la aparición de la teoría del desdoblamiento vocálico. Esta teoría proponía que, en el andaluz oriental, las vocales que preceden a /s/ aspirada o neutralizada cambian su timbre, el cual pasa a cumplir la función semántica de /s/. Desde entonces, un gran número de investigadores ha estudiado los sistemas vocálico y consonántico de esta variedad de español y el debate en cuanto a las unidades fonéticas y fonológicas del andaluz oriental sigue abierto. Este artículo revisa los principales estudios sobre el geolecto del oriente andaluz publicados entre 1881 y 2016, comparando las distintas conclusiones alcanzadas y resumiéndolas cronológicamente. Igualmente, se presentan más adelante las características del geolecto andaluz oriental que son generalmente aceptadas y otras sobre las que aún se debate con el fin de identificar posibles futuras líneas de investigación.

The notions of mergers and neutralization presuppose the concept of contrast. Two sounds are phonologically contrastive if they are in opposition with each other, i.e. if they are capable of differentiating the lexical meanings of two words in a particular language. The plosives [p] and [p h ], for example, are in opposition in Cantonese (Yue Chinese) (e.g. [paː┐] ‘father’ vs . [p h aː┐] ‘to lay down’) but [b] and [p] are not. Contrast is not restricted to pairs of segments; classes of segments contrast as well. The aspiration opposition between [p] and [p h ] finds analogs in other pairs of segments ([t] ∼ [t h ], [k] ∼ [k h ], [k w ] ∼ [k wh ]). When a phonological opposition is suspended, neutralization or merger obtains. For example, Cantonese has no aspiration opposition between plain and aspirated plosives in syllable‐final position; all syllable‐final plosives are voiceless and unreleased (e.g. [t h aːp ¬ ┤] ‘pagoda’, [paːt ¬ ┤] ‘eight’, [kɔːk ¬ ┤] ‘corner, horn’).
