Chicano English- I would like to contribute to variation since there isn’t much information on variation in the article. Under phonology, prosody is also very little information.

Prosody Prosody The rhythm of Chicano English tends to have an intermediate prosody between a Spanish-like syllable timing, with syllables taking up roughly the same amount of time with roughly the same amount of stress, and General American English's stress timing, with only stressed syllables being evenly timed.

Most Romance languages, such as Spanish, are syllable-timed. [citation needed]

Chicano English also has a complex set of nonstandard English intonation patterns, such as pitch rises on significant words in the middle and at the end of sentences as well as initial-sentence high pitches, which are often accompanied by the lengthening of the affected syllables. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Janet-L-0 (talk • contribs) 04:37, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

When needing extra emphasis to certain words, there is the use of rising glides. Rising glides can be used multiple times in one sentence. On compound nouns and verbs, major stress is on the second word.

PEER REVIEW - ZOE KEETER Hi Janet! I think you're off to a great start. I love that you're editing prosody and variation, they're super key features of Chicano English. I noticed on the article itself a lot of the phonology sources aren't cited, so it may be good to root through it and see if any features that are uncited need to be deleted or if you are able to find citations for the features. Some of the language left by others on the article is a little vague, such as the prelude during phonology that just says "Chicano English is similar to Spanish" or something to that effect. Maybe a small summation of features at the top would be good, and an eventual vowel map. Your tone is good, you're using great elevated words and technical terms. Your sources also look good. I'm interested to see where your work leads you! Keeterz1 (talk) 20:03, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
