En este artículo se discute el surgimiento de vocales monoptongadas breves y alargadas en el contexto de los sufijos de primera y segunda persona poseedora del quechua de Chachapoyas. La literatura previa aduce que el segmento inicial /-y/ de ambos sufijos explica la altura de las vocales y que el acento es el responsable de las alternancias entre vocales breves y largas: [i]/[i:] y [e]/[e:]. Sin embargo, la evidencia acústica permite proponer una nueva representación del segmento inicial de las personas poseedoras a través de un segmento subespecificado con el rasgo [coronal], así como explicar la alternancia entre las vocales monoptongadas breves y largas en el campo de la fonología léxica. Finalmente, se deriva también algunos comentarios acerca del cambio histórico del marcador de primera persona en otras variedades de quechua.
This paper discusses on the emergence of long and short monophthongized vowels in a number of suffixes of the Quechua variety spoken in Chachapoyas. In particular, vowel monophthongization occurs within the possessive suffixes that mark first and second person in this Quechua variety. Previous studies have explained that alternations between [i]/[i:] and [e]/[e:] are the result of variations in the quality of the initial segment /-y/ that appears in both first and second person possessive suffixes. Similarly, previous research has described the alternation between short and long vowel segments (i.e. [i]/[i:] and [e]/[e:]) as the outcome of stress variation. However, recent acoustic evidence suggests that the initial segment of both possessive suffixes is not /-y/ but a subespecified coronal segment. Moreover, this evidence allows to explain the alternation between short and long vowels as caused by the lexical phonology of Chachapoyas Quechua rather than as a result of stress variation. After discussing these new findings, this paper provides some insights about the linguistic change of the first person possessive suffix in other Quechua varieties.
