Cover Story: Massive migration from the Peruvian Andes to Lima in the mid- to late twentieth century transformed the capital into a site of intense dialect contact. This study examines coda /s/ variation among three generations of Andean migrants and long-established Limeños, using speech corpora collected a decade apart to track change in apparent time. Results show a clear intergenerational trajectory: the sibilant associated with Andean Spanish recedes after the first generation, while the weakened variants of /s/ that typify Limeño speakers become more prevalent. Crucially, while the rates of specific variants change, the underlying linguistic constraints remain stable. This study offers compelling evidence of structured contact-driven change in progress, sharpening our understanding of how migration reshapes urban sound patterns. View this paper
