              ** Syllable-Final /s/ Lenition **

    The Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) is pleased to announce the
    availability of the Syllable-Final /s/ Lenition corpus.

    http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/Catalog/LDC2001T60.html

    This Spanish language ftp publication has been authored by Michelle A.
    Fox. It represents a study of lenition of syllable-final /s/ in
    Latin American Spanish. Syllable-final /s/ is subject to lenition in
    many Latin American Spanish dialects. Lenition of -/s/ is a variable
    phonological process in which an -/s/ may be aspirated (pronounced [h])
    or deleted altogether.

    The data used in this study came from three other LDC corpora, the
    CALLHOME Spanish Speech corpus, the CALLHOME Spanish Transcripts, and
    the CALLHOME Spanish Lexicon.
