Spanish non-continuants at the phonology-phonetics interface

This paper takes a series of lenition phenomena from Gran Canarian Spanish as a point of departure to discuss the inﬂuence of phonology on the phonetics component. Based on phonetic and phonological data, it can be concluded that a blocking effect ensues between the process of coda deletion and pos...
