Abstract: Consonant Epenthesis in the Dialect of Teramo. This contribution deals with the process of consonant epenthesis typical of the Southern dialects of Italy, focusing on Abruzzese. Based on corpus data of the dialect spoken in Teramo, it tackles issues concerning the quality of epenthetic segments and its relationship with the process of lenition of velar plosives, also typical of the dialectal area. The synchronic status of the two processes is also addressed, as well as the status of the utterance-initial position in the dialect. Finally, a discussion about the distribution of the different epenthetic segments is sketched.

Keywords: epenthesis, prosthesis, lenition, Abruzzese, Southern Italian dialects
