Description
Summary:This paper reviews previous studies about dialectal variation of rhythm in Spanish and aims to analyse possible differences among Spanish spoken in Andalusia, Madrid, and Galicia. Four of the rhythm metrics present in the literature were used in the analysis. Spontaneous speech, by contrast with reading tasks, did allow us to discriminate among varieties, albeit only in the case of vowel duration measures. Drawing on the different effect of task on the results, two possible conceptions of rhythm are discussed: language rhythm (as a phonological property) and speech rhythm (as a phonetic property). It is argued that so-called rhythm metrics may be more related to the latter or may even reflect phonotactic rather than rhythmic properties.
