espanolEl presente trabajo ofrece un analisis contrastivo del sistema consonantico del espanol y del arabe a fin de conocer las concomitancias y las divergencias que se hallan en ambas lenguas con objetivos didacticos. El estudio senala las variantes que influyen en la pronunciacion de las consonantes espanolas por los estudiantes de la Universidad de Jordania, en la que interfiere tanto el Arabe Estandar Moderno y el arabe coloquial jordano como el ingles. Se comprobara que un arabofono jordano cuenta con la mayoria de consonantes espanolas, si bien las principales dificultades se encuentran en /?/, /p/ y /?/. Tambien /g/ y /?/ presentan otro tipo de dificultades. Finalmente, senalaremos como la existencia de dos fonemas en arabe /d/ y /ð/, alofonos en espanol, influye en la pronunciacion, asi como la colocacion de /?/ a principio de palabras en espanol cuando estas comienzan por vocal. Asimismo, este estudio servira de apoyo a estudiantes espanoles del arabe. EnglishThe present paper offers a contrastive analysis of the consonant system in Spanish and Arabic providing a comprehensive description of both repertoires for didactic purposes. The study aims mainly at identifying the variants involved in the pronunciation of Spanish consonants by Jordanian university students; a pronunciation that is influenced by Modern Standard Arabic, Jordanian Colloquial Arabic, as well as by English language. Jordanian students of Spanish language already perfectly pronounce most of the Spanish consonants, as they also exist in their native varieties. However, they face some obstacles in their pronunciation of some Spanish consonants. The greatest obstacle is encountered in their pronunciation of /?/, /p/ and /?/. In addition, the /g/ and /?/ present another type of difficulty. On the other hand, the study undertakes the existence of the Arabic phonemes /d/ and /ð/ which are allophones in Spanish, and the influence of such a difference on the pronunciation of Jordanian students of Spanish. The study also tackles the issue of the production of the glottal stop /?/ at beginning of Spanish words which begin with a vowel. It also provides valuable phonetic indications for Spanish learners of Arabic as a foreign language.
