Abstract Eastern Andalusian Spanish deletes coda consonants and the effects of such deletions have been widely studied. However, this has been done almost exclusively for /s/. Furthermore, no study has considered Eastern Andalusian speakers with articulation disorders. The present paper explores the consequences of /s/, /r/, and /θ/ deletion on preceding vowels in Eastern Andalusian speakers with articulation disorders. The vowels from eight speakers with articulation disorders are analysed in word-final position and before underlying /-s/, /-r/, and /-θ/. Acoustic and statistical analyses show that speakers with an articulation disorder do not simply delete word-final consonants, as posited in the literature for these type of speakers, but they also display lowering and fronting/backing, which is typical in this variety of Spanish. The results from the analyses of the 524 vowels from the present study are compared to data of speakers not affected by articulation disorders from the literature. While the vowels of both groups of speakers suffer different alterations depending on the underlying consonant they precede, the intensity of such alterations varies between both groups. It is hypothesised that functional compensation forces explain why speakers with articulation disorders acquire some features of Eastern Andalusian vowels but not others.

有发音障碍的东安达卢西亚西班牙语使用者的元音系统

摘要 东安达卢西亚西班牙语删除了辅音辅音，此类删除的影响已得到广泛研究。然而，这几乎是专门为 /s/ 完成的。此外，没有研究考虑到东部安达卢西亚人的发音障碍。本论文探讨了 /s/、/r/ 和 /θ/ 删除对东部安达卢西亚语发音障碍者的前面元音的影响。在词尾位置和潜在 /-s/、/-r/ 和 /-θ/ 之前分析来自八个发音障碍说话者的元音。声学和统计分析表明，有发音障碍的说话者不会简单地删除词尾辅音，正如文献中为这些类型的说话者所假定的那样，而且他们还表现出降低和前移/后移，这在这种西班牙语中很典型。将本研究中 524 个元音的分析结果与文献中未受发音障碍影响的说话者数据进行比较。虽然两组说话者的元音根据它们前面的基本辅音发生不同的变化，但两组之间这种变化的强度不同。假设功能性补偿力解释了为什么发音障碍的说话者获得了东安达卢西亚元音的某些特征而不是其他特征。
