Chibcha guaymí ngäbere fonética fonología V.O.T. chibcha The present work consists of an analysis of the phonetic and phonological properties of the sequences /t-k/ and /b-d-ɡ/ from the Guaymi spoken in La Casona, Puntarenas, Costa Rica. The corpus was analyzed with Speech Analyzer and the Lisker and Abramson (1964) method was applied in order to obtain the values of the V.O.T. The results suggest that the sequence /t-k/ does not present systematic allophonic variations, while /b-d-g/ alternates with stop, fricative, and approximant allophones; neutralization among stop phonemes is not frequent. Lastly, the V.O.T. contributes to the differentiation between voiceless and voiced stops. El estudio consiste en un análisis de las propiedades fonéticas y fonológicasde las series /t-k/ y /b-d-ɡ/ del guaymí hablado en La Casona, Puntarenas, Costa Rica. El corpus se analizó con Speech Analyzer y se aplicó el método de Lisker y Abramson (1964) para obtener los valores del V.O.T. Los resultados señalan que la serie /t-k/ no presenta variantes alofónicas sistemáticas, mientras que /b-d-g/ alterna con alófonos oclusivos, fricativos y aproximantes; la neutralización entre fonemas oclusivos no es frecuente; y, por último, el V.O.T. contribuye a la diferenciación entre oclusivas sordas y sonoras.
