Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades / Informe de Seminario para optar al grado de Licenciado en Lengua y Literatura Inglesa / The purpose of the present study was to analyze the pronunciation of English
consonantal sounds in proper names and other capitalized items by a group of 12 advanced
Chilean Spanish learners of English with the aim of studying the deviances produced.
These learners were undergraduate students of the English Linguistics and Literature
academic programme, Universidad de Chile. The data of the study consisted of the subjects'
recordings of a selection of news headlines taken from the BBC World News. The data
processing involved the identification of deviant forms, their classification on the basis of a
taxonomy of the difficulties caused by English consonant sounds to Chilean Spanish
speakers proposed by Professor C. Vivanco (1991), the corresponding explanation of such
deviances, and the quantification of the different types of difficulties.
