Abstract

This article describes the use of aspirates and ejectives in a variety of Spanish with significant Quechua contact influence that is spoken in the Santa Cruz valleys of central Bolivia. Aspirates and ejectives occur primarily on Quechua loanwords, making these ‘intermediate phonological relationships’ ( Hall 2013 ) that are hard to categorize with respect to their status as phonetic vs. phonological features. Results from a small-scale perception and shadowing task show that language users are able to distinguish between these sounds and canonical Spanish consonants in minimal pairs, but that there is variation among speakers in the way these sounds are reproduced. While the use of aspirates and glottal stops in Spanish in contact with Mayan languages has been documented ( Michnowicz 2015 ; Michnowicz and Kagan 2016 ) previous studies of Andean Spanish phonology have not reported the use of aspirates and ejectives as part of the sound system ( Boynton 1981 ; Cassano 1974 ; Pyle 1981 ).
