Guide to the Phonetic Symbols of Spanish presents the many phonetic symbols and symbol systems that linguists have used for the sounds of Spanish. More than 450 clear entries for symbols and diacritics describe their meanings in the RFE, IPA, and American systems, as well as less common and unconventional uses. The book includes an overview of the Spanish sound system and a helpful glossary of phonetic terms. Guide to the Phonetic Symbols of Spanish will prove invaluable for scholars and students of Spanish phonetics and phonology, and a necessary resource for linguists who encounter the abundance of phonetic symbols used for Spanish.
