This doctoral dissertation is situated within historical linguistics, with a specific focus on phonological diachronic and synchronic variation in Spanish. I aim to describe and explain two patterns of consonantal variation (weakening) in Traditional New Mexican Spanish (TNMS), a dialect native to the American Southwest. This study combines acoustic analysis of fieldwork speech recordings with Optimality Theory as a framework for phonological analysis. One pattern is the debuccalization of /s/ in both syllable-final and syllable-initial positions, even at the beginning of a word, as in solita [holita] 'by herself'. The other pattern is variation of Latin F-, which has resulted in variation very different from what we find in Modern Spanish (MS). For instance, data recordings include tokens such as hallar [xajar] 'to find', in words with strong community attachment (c.f. Lexical Diffusion, Labov, 1994) and fue [hwe ~ xwe ~ ?we] 'went', i.e. before [w], in words from etymon ESSE. TNMS is a unique, archaic dialect that has been geographically and socially marginalized for centuries. As there is more migration from Latin America (especially Mexico) to New Mexico, and as English is the vehicular and administrative language, TNMS seems to be destined to disappear at the turn of the next century. The endangered and marginalized status of this dialect gives strong incentive to study the phonological evolution of this variety, in addition to the sound patterns of other, more mainstream varieties of Spanish that are better understood. Furthermore, the archaic features of TNMS are of major importance as they help us to better understand diachronic changes that Medieval Spanish underwent before becoming what we know today as standard/modern Spanish. Having access to phonological and morphological features that led to MS can further our understanding of how such features are subject to diachronic and synchronic variation across a wider range of Spanish varieties. This dissertation gives a diachronic account of the pattering of /s/ and /f/, as described by Espinosa's (1909) seminal study and as documented in more recent audio recordings from the New Mexican Spanish-English Bilingual corpus (NMSEB; Torres Cacoullos and Travis, 2015).
