Los fonemas /t/ y /l/ pertenecen a dos silabas diferentes, como en [at.las]. Ese mismo grupo tiende a ser homosilabico en el espanol americano, lo que lleva a una segmentacion del tipo a.tias. Este trabajo presenta, en primer lugar, una revi ion de los origenes del grupo [ti] en espanol, y los resultados de una prueba de conciencia fonologica realizada con un gran nu mero de hablantes de diferentes paises de lengua espanola, con el fin de verificar la concordancia entre analisis fonologico y con ciencia fonologica de los hablantes. Presentamos luego los resul tados de un analisis acustico, tomando en cuenta los diferentes parametros que constituyen los indices posibles de coarticula cion que permiten diferenciar estos dos tipos de realizaciones.

Two frequencies, 500 and 1000 Hz, were employed. Loudness comparisons were made at 20, 40 and 80 dB SL. Results show a frequency effect on the loudness of short tones. Some partial recuperation of loudness appears, it is greater for the high level.

This system is based on the method of diphone con- catenation for which we used the 794 diphone data base (Rodriguez et al 2003), which allows for the generation of any sen- tence in Venezuelan Spanish. We describe how to generate the data base.

Since more elaborated auditory and tactile skills have been reported in the blind, two groups of congenitally blind and sighted adults were compared. Participants performed a forced-choice syllable decision task across three conditions: audio-only and congruent/incongruent audio-tactile conditions. For the auditory modality, the syllables were embedded or not in noise while, for the tactile modality, participants felt in synchrony a mouthed syllable by placing a hand on the face of a talker. In the absence of acoustic noise, syllables were almost perfectly recognized in all conditions. On the contrary, with syllables embedded with acoustic noise, more correct responses were reported in case of congruent mouthing compared to no mouthing, and in case of no mouthing compared to incongruent mouthing. Interestingly, no perceptual differences were observed between blind and sighted adults. These findings demonstrate that manual tactile information relevant to recovering speech gestures modulates auditory speech perception in case of degraded acoustic information and that audio-tactile interactions occur similarly in blind and sighted untrained listeners.
