Can anyone tell me the geographical extent of the neutralization of
the vowels in caught and cot, that you find in the Pittsburgh area? My
intro students want to know.

Message 2: Voicing in Spanish

From: Carol L. Tenny <tennylinguist.org>
Subject: Voicing in Spanish


	
After working through a problem demonstrating [s] and [z] were
allophonic in a dialect of colloquial Spanish, one of my students
asked me about two verb forms pronounced [has] and [haz] in
Spanish. Can anyone tell me about these? Is the contrastive [s] and
[z] due to morphophonetics, or dialect differences? or something else?
