Sumario:This study sought to investigate the voice onset time (VOT) of Western Andalusian Spanish voiceless plosives, a dialect whose phonetic characteristics have not been sufficiently researched empirically. Results indicated that both place of articulation and vowel height had an effect on VOT, especially the former. Two Spanish dialects, Castilian and Latin American, were compared with Western Andalusian in terms of VOT. Findings revealed only minor differences in VOT between Castilian and Latin American voiceless plosives, but sizeable differences between these two dialects and Western Andalusian VOT. A number of potential explanations for the detected contrasts are expounded.
