1. [d] and [ð] in English and Spanish


(a) English


1.[dεn] den 2. [ðεn] then

3. [doʊz] doze 4. [ðoʊz] those

5. [dεə] dare 6. [ðεə] their

7. [ʌdə] udder 8. [ʌðə] other

9. [aɪdə] Eider 10. [aɪðə] either

In many (not all) accents of English, [d] and [ð] are realizations of phonemes, as these data show. They are in parallel distribution (both occur at the beginnings of words and between vowels). They also function contrastively: there are minimal pairs involving the two sounds. We are therefore justified in postulating a /d/ vs /ð/ phonemic distinction for most accents of English.

 

(b) Spanish


Now consider the following Spanish data. (The voiced stop in question is in fact dental in Spanish. We overlook this fact here.) Is the distinction between [d] and [ð] phonemic or allophonic in Spanish? Justify your answer with evidence and argumentation.


1. [dɐr] to give’ 2. [nɐðɐ] nothing’

3. [dεβεr] to have to’ 4. [boðeɣɐ] wine cellar’

5. [diɐs] days’ 6. [ɐblɐðo] spoken’

7. [bɐndɐ] ribbon’ 8. [pɾɐðo] meadow’

9. [ɐndɐr] to go’ 10. [poðεr]to be able’

1. [dɐr] ‘to give’ 2. [nɐðɐ] ‘nothing’

3. [dεβεr] ‘to have to’ 4. [boðeɣɐ] ‘wine cellar’

5. [diɐs] ‘days’ 6. [ɐblɐðo] ‘spoken’

7. [bɐndɐ] ‘ribbon’ 8. [pɾɐðo] ‘meadow’

9. [ɐndɐr] ‘to go’ 10. [poðεr] ‘to be able’

Is the distinction between [d] and [ð] phonemic or allophonic in Spanish?

Answer: It is allophonic

We can find [ð] only between vowels.

We cannot find [d] between vowels.

[d] and [ð] are not in parallel distribution.

They show complementary distribution.

1. [dɐr] ‘to give’ 2. [nɐðɐ] ‘nothing’

Intervocalic Fricativization

◆ /d/ ⇒ [ð] / V _____ V

Dental stops become dental fricatives

cf.

We can find [b] only between vowels.

We cannot find [β] between vowels.

[b] and [β] are not in parallel distribution.

They show complementary distribution.

3. [dεβεr] ‘to have to’ 4. [boðeɣɐ] ‘wine cellar’

6. [ɐblɐðo] ‘spoken’

7. [bɐndɐ] ‘ribbon’

We can find [ɣ] only between vowels.

We cannot find [g] between vowels.

[g] and [ɣ] are not in parallel distribution.

They show complementary distribution.

4. [boðeɣɐ] ‘wine cellar’

Intervocalic Fricativization

◆ /b, d, g/ ⇒ [β, ð, ɣ] / V _____ V

Stops are fricativized between vowels.
