This paper will deal with the processes carried out and developed when analysing a corpus of spoken Spanish before, during, and after a comparative stage with a similar corpus of data from English. Phonetic and Phonological analyses are carried out so that findings obtained from experimental procedures may gain practical status in language processing and teaching. The underlaying aim is to gather data from spontaneous speech in Spanish using a variety of speakers and different styles and social dialects in order to build a set of samples that would later be compared with the existing operative corpus of English designed in Lancaster University by G. Knowles. Both segmental and prosodic features were monitored and a special study of experimental versus descriptive approaches was also developed.
