Abstract

DIAZ-ROMERO, CAMILO ENRIQUE. The Representation of Voiced Palatal Consonants in New Granada Spanish Letters. Cuad. linguist. hisp. [online]. 2023, n.41, e05.  Epub Jan 28, 2024. ISSN 0121-053X.  https://doi.org/10.19053/0121053x.n4l.2023.15997.

293 epistolary documents from the corpus Documentos para la Historia Lingüística de Colombia (DHLC) (Instituto Caro y Cuervo [ICC], 2017-2020) are reviewed regarding the written representation of /ʎ/ and /j/ and their provisions with (QGIS.org, 2022) and without georeferencing (i.e., with a distinction between semi-educated and educated users). Regarding the non-georeferenced results, records of hesitation between the graphemes for the two palatal consonants are identified, with an increase in the trend in the 18th century. Regarding the georeferenced results, the first evidence of hesitation is found in the north of New Granada in the second half of the 17th century and spreads to the interior in the 18th century.

Keywords : palatal fricative phoneme; palatal lateral phoneme; letters; results without georeferencing; results with georeferencing.
