摘要本文研究了墨西哥奇皮洛小社区威尼托-西班牙语双语者的峰对齐情况。我们有两个目标：第一，描述双语奇皮罗西班牙语中的峰对齐模式。由于奇皮罗西班牙语与意大利北部的一种变体(威尼托语)有接触，我们推测峰对齐的变化可能是由于从威尼托语转移而来的。其次，我们试图将目前基于受控言语的数据与之前一项关于奇皮罗西班牙语半自发言语的研究结果进行比较，这有助于比较语调研究方法的文献。我们的结果表明，双语者在受控言语中表现出早期的峰值，尽管程度低于半自发言语。我们将这归因于与威尼托语的接触和强烈的民族语言认同感，这使得说话者保持了奇皮尔诺西班牙语的特征。
Abstract This paper examines peak alignment in Veneto-Spanish bilinguals in the small community of Chipilo, Mexico. We have two goals: First, to provide a description of the peak alignment patterns present in bilingual Chipilo Spanish. As Chipilo Spanish is in contact with a northern Italian variety (Veneto), we hypothesize that changes in peak alignment from monolingual norms, specifically regarding early peak alignment, may be due to transfer from Veneto. Second, we seek to compare the present data, based on controlled speech, to the results of a previous study on semi-spontaneous speech in Chipilo Spanish, contributing to the literature that compares methodologies in intonation research. Our results show that bilinguals demonstrate early peaks in controlled speech, although to a lesser extent than in semi-spontaneous speech. We attribute this to contact with Veneto and a strong sense of ethnolinguistic identity that leads speakers to maintain features of a Chipileño variety of Spanish.
