In this paper is described the acquisition of English voiced stops by native speakers of South American Spanish. Spanish is characterized by the use of long lead "voiced" stops, while English uses primarily short-lag "voiced" stops. Although there would seem to be no communicative pressure to do so, over a period of 18 months in the U.S., Spanish ESL students modified their English target voiced stops by reducing the length of voicing lead and adding a significant number of short-lag versions, although only for velar targets. Aerodynamics suggest an explanation for the limitation to the velar point of articulation while the traditional notion of "ease of articulation" may explain the reason for this change.
