Aspects of Spanish Prosody and Their Carryover Into English: A Case Study of A Three Year Old

Abstract

dc:description

Some aspects of Spanish prosody were examined and the way a Spanish-speaking three-year-old, Camila, carried them into English, while she was in the process of learning English as a second language, was studied. Camila was video- and audiotaped two times each week over a six month period in a wide variety of situations in her home and in her day care setting. Taping began six months after Camila's arrival when she still spoke Spanish almost exclusively, and ended at a point when she spoke English almost exclusively.
