Tracing Mexican Spanish /s/: A Cross-Section of History.
Lipski, John M.
Language Problems and Language Planning, v18 n3 p223-41 Fall 1994
Examines linguistic data from peripheral areas of Mexico and suggests that the contemporary resistance of the final /s/ in Spanish is characteristic only of urban regions. The study also hypothesizes that Spanish final /s/ was once more generally weakened throughout Mexico. An indirect Nahuatl contribution is also postulated. (62 references) (Author/CK)
