Centro de Estudios Puertorriqueiios, City University of New York Consonant deletion processes may reduce sentence redundancy and thus increase the possibility of ambiguity. Historically, languages have adapted to such processes through a variety of changes in morphology and higher levels of grammar. Synchronic quantitative evidence of such adaptation is provided here through examination of the behavior of two Puerto Rican Spanish phonological variables which interact with the grammatical system in the capacity of plural markers. Although the data contain entire sentences with no morphological trace of the plural, this paper demonstrates that-through a complex interplay of semantic, syntactic, and morphological factors -no instance in the corpus shows ambiguity of number resulting from marker deletion. .
