Abstract

Colombia is, after Mexico, the second country with the largest number of Spanish speakers in the Hispanic world. More than 90% of their 48 million inhabitants are native speakers of Spanish. Colombian Spanish is a grouping of the varieties of Spanish spoken in this country with specific pronunciation, intonation and, especially, vocabulary. The article deals with some relevant phonetic and phonological aspects of Colombian Spanish, some of them shared with other Hispano-American regions, for instance the seseo (/θ/ merges with /s/), and other phenomena present in two Colombian superdialects as defined by Montes Giraldo (the presence or absence of implosive -s or the loss of intervocalic -d-). The article also deals with the extension of yeísmo, a merger of /ʎ/ into /ʝ/, in the area of Bogotá and with some phonetic phenomena of the creole language palenquero. The analysis is based on examples from spoken Colombian Spanish corpus PRESEEA and other sources.

Alternate abstract:

Kolumbija je za Mehiko druga država z največ špansko govorečih, saj je španščina materni jezik za veliko večino njenih več kot 48 milijonov prebivalcev. Kolumbijska španščina je inačica španščine, ki jo tvorijo vrsta regionalnih govorov z določenimi značilnostmi pri izgovarjavi, intonaciji in še posebej besedju. Namen pričujočega prispe-vka je predstavitev pomembnejših glasoslovnih značilnosti kolumbijske španščine, ki si jih deli z ostalo špansko govorečo Ameriko (npr. seseo), kot tudi nekaterih značilnih pojavov dveh glavnih kolumbijskih dialektov (npr. aspiracija -s na koncu zloga ali be-sede, izguba -d- v položaju med samoglasnikoma). Članek opozarja tudi na širitev tako imenovanega yeísma na področju Bogote in posledično postopno stapljanje /ʎ/ v /ʝ/. Prav tako so analizirane nekatere fonetične značilnosti kreolskega jezika palenquera. Analiza sloni na virih ustne kolumbijske španščine, kot je korpus PRESEEA.
