- 요약This dissertation applies the Modified Contrastive Specification (MCS) framework and the Successive Division Algorithm (SDA) to the analysis of Spanish vowel and sonorant systems, with a focus on how contrastive hierarchies can account for dialectal variation. The study establishes canonical contrastive hierarchies for the five-vowel system /i e a o u/ and the major sonorant classes, which serve as baselines for examining dialect-specific reconfigurations. Drawing on data from multiple varieties, the analysis investigates four primary case studies: velar fronting in Chilean Spanish, uvularization of /x/ in certain Peninsular dialects, glide fricativization in Argentine Spanish, and liquid vocalization and rhotic-lateral neutralization in Caribbean Spanish. Each phenomenon is analyzed in terms of its underlying contrastive structure, showing that variation follows from differences in the ordering, presence, or absence of contrastive features rather than from purely phonetic pressures. The findings demonstrate that MCS, when implemented through the SDA, offers a principled account of cross-dialectal variation by capturing how restructured hierarchies determine which features are phonologically active in specific contexts. This approach underscores the predictive value of contrastive hierarchies for explaining both shared and divergent phonological processes across dialects.
