    Aquest estudi analitza la presència d’africació en espanyol andalús occidental, en clústers consonàntics que inclouen /st/, /kt/ i /pt/, mitjançant tasques de producció i percepció. En la producció, s’observa una neutralització incompleta, en tant que /kt/ presenta una ràtio d’oclusió més alta i una ràtio de VOT més baixa que /pt/ i /st/. En la percepció, en canvi, els tres clústers s’etiqueten de manera similar seguint el patró /st/ > /kt/ > /pt/, i diferents paràmetres com la ràtio d’oclusió i de VOT i el centre de gravetat semblen influir-hi. En conjunt, els resultats indiquen que la neutralització pot ser considerada completa en la percepció però incompleta en la producció.

    The present study addresses the occurrence of affrication in clusters other than /st/ in Western Andalusian Spanish, by means of production and perception tasks comprising /st/, /kt/, and /pt/. Our findings reveal incomplete neutralization in production, given that /kt/ presented a higher closure ratio and a lower VOT ratio than /pt/ and /st/. In perception, the three clusters were similarly labeled according to a pattern: /st/ > /kt/ > /pt/. Certain parameters such as closure and VOT ratios and center of gravity seemed to have an influence on perception. These results indicate that neutralization may be complete in perception and incomplete in production.
