Análisis acústico del seseo vasco en los datos del Archivo del Patrimonio Inmaterial de Navarra

After having tracked the presence of Basque «seseo» speakers in the Archives of the Immaterial heritage of Navarre (Romera y Medina, 2015), we carried out the phonetic-acoustic characterization of «seseo» productions. In contrast to previous studies (Iribar et al. 2005; Hualde, 2010; Isasi, Iribar y Túrrez, 2013), where the informants who produce «seseo» were L1 Basque-L2 Spanish speakers, this time we report the case of an L1 Spanish informant who produces «seseo». Through PRAAT, we analyze six acoustic features of each of his sibilant segments. Our findings support the idea of the use of a new model of «seseo», which includes a new realization that does not conform the ‘seseo’ variants known for other areas.
