The Influence of Environment on Vowel Epenthesis in Spanish/English Interphonology

ROBERT S. CARLISLE

California State University Bakersfield

This paper presents the results of two separate studies that examined epenthesis before three word-initial onsets of the form lsC1l in English (where C1 represents a voiceless stop). The first study was strictly exploratory and designed to discover ifthe frequency ofepenthesis before lsC,lwas influenced by environment. Appropriate statistical analyses revealed that epenthesis occurred significantly more frequently after word-final consonants than after word-final vowels before the three onsets. The second study tested three specific statistical hypotheses based upon the exploratory study. Again, vowel epenthesis was significantly more frequent after consonants than after vowels before the onsets.
