What happens when Spanish meets Italian?

[Kirstin Menoff]

Ever wondered why Buenos Aires Spanish sounds a little different? This talk
explores how mass Italian immigration may have left its mark not only on
the vocabulary of Argentinian Spanish, but its melody as well—specifically,
how Spanish speakers in Buenos Aires use pitch and intonation and how that
differs from "typical" Spanish. What does "typical" mean anyway here? We’ll
dive into that as well.  Come to discover the surprisingly musical side of
language and what happens when two languages collide.
