本文考察了西班牙语音系对加泰罗尼亚元音对比产生的影响。为了找出加泰罗尼亚语和西班牙语的接触差异是否会导致元音发音的差异，研究人员对巴塞罗那三个不同地区的加泰罗尼亚语双语者发出的元音进行了听觉和声学分析。不同地区的儿童群体在生产方面存在差异。特别是，加泰罗尼亚元音对比/e/与/e/的情况似乎处于合并的高级阶段。与加泰罗尼亚语较多的地区相比，西班牙语影响较大的地区的儿童几乎不会产生这种元音对比。
The present article examines the influence of Spanish phonology on the production of Catalan vowel contrasts. Vowels produced by Catalan bilinguals in three different districts in Barcelona are both auditorily and acoustically analyzed in order to find out whether differences in exposure to Catalan and Spanish could trigger differences in vowel pronunciation. Differences in production are found between the groups of children in the different districts. In particular, the case of the Catalan vowel contrast /e/ vs. /e/ seems to be at an advanced stage of merging. The children in the highly Spanish-influenced district hardly produce this vowel contrast in comparison with children in districts where Catalan is more present in the environment.
