Description
Summary:Some processes of phonetic evolution described by historical grammar can still be traced in present-day language, especially in informal contexts. This is the case of palatalization which has caused the verb tunear to evolve into tuñar, after passing through a previous stage as tuniar, which involves a breaking of the hiatus. This research intends to demonstrate that it is still possible to go deeper into our understanding of primitive satages of language through the analysis of parallel phenomena. In this case it serves to corroborate that one of the palatalizing contexts of second yod is still triggering processes which are similar to the ones that took place in Vulgar Latin in words with a similar structure.
