Editing Hypercorrection (section)

==Spanish==
In some Spanish dialects, the final intervocalic {{IPA|/d/}} ({{IPA|[ð]}}) is dropped, such as in ''[[wikt:pescado|pescado]]'' (fish), which would typically be pronounced {{IPA|[pesˈkaðo]}} but can be manifested as {{IPA|[pesˈkao]}} dialectically. Speakers sensitive to this variation may insert a {{IPA|/d/}} intervocalically into a word without such a consonant, such as in the case of ''[[wikt:bacalao|bacalao]]'' (cod), correctly pronounced {{IPA|[bakaˈlao]}} but occasionally hypercorrected to {{IPA|[bakaˈlaðo]}}.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Penny |first=Ralph |title=Variation and Change in Spanish |publisher=Cambridge University Press |year=2000 |isbn=978-0-521-78045-2 |location=Cambridge}}</ref>

Outside Spain and in [[Andalusia]], the phonemes {{IPA|/θ/}} and {{IPA|/s/}} have merged, mostly into the realization {{IPAblink|s}} but [[ceceo]], i.e. the pronunciation of both as {{IPAblink|s̟}}, is found in some areas as well, primarily parts of Andalusia. Speakers of varieties that have {{IPAblink|s|}} in all cases will frequently produce {{IPAblink|θ|}} even in places where [[peninsular Spanish]] has {{IPAblink|s|}} when trying to imitate a peninsular accent. As [[Spanish orthography]] distinguishes the two phonemes in all varieties, but the pronunciation is not differentiated in Latin American varieties, some speakers also get mixed up with the spelling.

Many Spanish dialects tend to [[Spanish dialects and varieties#Debuccalization of coda /s/|aspirate]] syllable-final {{IPA|/s/}}, and some even elide it often. Since this phenomenon is somewhat stigmatized, some speakers in the [[Caribbean Spanish|Caribbean]] and especially the [[Dominican Spanish|Dominican Republic]] may attempt to correct for it by pronouncing an {{IPA|/s/}} where it does not belong. For example, {{lang|es|catorce años}} '14 years' may be pronounced as {{lang|es|catorces año}}.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Lipski |first=John M. |author-link=John M.
