Abstract
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17227/01234870.37folios51.62 In Colombia, dialectal studies are of great interest, especially since the 70s. National dialectologists such as Professor Luis Florez and Professor Jose Joaquin Montes, and many of their students have published several articles about the Spanish spoken in Colombia, in national and international magazines. Following the idea that linguistic evolution starts with speech and is reinforced in the phonetic production in individuals belonging to a social group, this study shows the latest condition of phonological distinction /?/ - /?/, with the aim of validating the ideas of experts like Jose Moreno de Alba, John Lipsky or Jose J. Montes. The review of theories including origins of difference and the study of their acoustic characterization establish a theoretical foundation for the analysis of some samples of speech from Bogota. The results describe the loss of this phonological distinction.
