This investigation examines how dialect identity and linguistic ideologies are negotiated and performed through dar +gerund, a northern Andean Spanish construction used to express an attenuated request or favor. Specifically, positive, neutral, and negative sentiments expressed through metalinguistic commentary are analyzed from a corpus of 450 tweets collected on Twitter between 2008- May 2019. This analysis shows how a higher degree of emotional intensity in negative sentiments signals linguistic and cultural discrimination towards this Kichwa-contact induced construction. On the other end, positive sentiments celebrate and defend this feature as an intrinsic part of the Andean Ecuadorian dialect and identity. This negotiation of the linguistic and cultural significance of dar +gerund serves to destabilize dominant negative perceptions and renegotiate the meaning of this NAS feature.

En un artículo reciente se ha argumentado que todas las variedades del chabacano proceden de una inicial, forjada antes de 1640 como instrumento de comunicación interétnica. Tal propuesta incluye un rechazo explícito del argumento ex silentio – utilizado por otros autores para defender una formación más tardía – ya que en ninguna de las áreas en las que surgieron criollos hay evidencia de nada. Si hubiese muchos testimonios sobre el uso de las lenguas en el siglo XVII en las zonas que posteriormente hablaron chabacano y ninguno pudiese interpretarse como referido al criollo, añaden los autores de la nueva hipótesis, entonces el argumento ex silentio sí merecería ser tomado en serio. En el presente trabajo se aportan diversas noticias sobre la comunicación interlingüística en Manila y Cavite antes de 1640. Como ninguna de ellas contiene nada que pueda interpretarse como referencia al chabacano, el argumento ex silentio bien merece ser tomado en consideración.

En el presente trabajo, ofrecemos un recorrido por los estudios más relevantes sobre el uso de números en la prensa y aplicamos las propuestas de estos trabajos al caso concreto de la crisis del coronavirus en España. Con este objetivo, hemos realizado un análisis del uso de números en los titulares de prensa de los periódicos ABC, El País y El Mundo durante las cuatro semanas previas a la declaración del estado de alarma para la gestión de la crisis sanitaria del Covid-19. El análisis realizado no solo ha servido para evaluar la aplicabilidad y vigencia de los postulados de los trabajos consultados, sino que también nos ha permitido comprobar cómo el contexto lingüístico de los números modula el efecto de alarma provocado en los lectores.

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo general definir y caracterizar las diversas funciones del dequeísmo en el habla de Monterrey. Para ello se analizan a profundidad los usos del dequeísmo en el corpus El Habla de Monterrey-PRESEEA, compuesto por 108 conversaciones semi-dirigidas de hombres y mujeres mayores de 20 años y de distintos niveles de instrucción. Los resultados del estudio han permitido distinguir que el dequeísmo se emplea en su mayoría por jóvenes, con dos valores semánticos: creador de espacio mental y ejemplificador. Además, la función de creador de espacio mental puede operar como un citativo. Finalmente, los resultados revelan la presencia de un valor pragmático atenuador, aunque con una frecuencia baja.

In this paper, we put to the test the validity of the theory of isochrony using data from Chilean Spanish. Spanish has been historically classified as syllable-timed, meaning its basic unit of prosody is the syllable. However, recent studies have shown that different methods of elicitation can have a significant effect on rhythm metrics (i.e., Arvaniti 2012). The present study measured a series of rhythm metrics from samples of 30 native Chilean Spanish speakers producing spontaneous speech and reading aloud. Using MANOVA analyses, the study determined that method of elicitation had a significant effect on the metrics: while spontaneous speech tended to produce values indicative of accent-timed rhythm, reading aloud yielded values which placed them closer to the syllable-timed rhythm category. This study helps to contribute to the notion that speech rhythm is not necessarily determined by language, but rather that there are other relevant factors.

This study examines the development of variable subject expression in Spanish across multiple proficiency levels of second-language learners. We employ a cross-sectional design and a written contextualized task in order to explore the differences in rates of subject forms as well as the degree to which factors related to referent cohesiveness constrain the acquisition of subject expression. We include a group of native speakers from the same community of practice for comparison. Our results suggest that, although learners appear to acquire native-like rates of subject forms, this process takes several years. Additionally, the rates of selection of forms were similar for the native speakers and the most advanced non-native speakers, but there remained important differences between these groups across the categories of the referent cohesiveness variable. Finally, we show that the various factors used to operationalize referent cohesiveness do not influence subject expression uniformly.

Este trabajo estudia la frecuencia y las funciones de los marcadores de implicación que utilizaron los candidatos de las principales fuerzas políticas españolas en sus discursos de campaña para las elecciones generales de 2016 en España. Nuestro objetivo es analizar la manera en que los líderes de los principales partidos políticos españoles se relacionaron con sus votantes a través del uso de marcadores de implicación en sus discursos. Para poder alcanzar este objetivo, recopilamos las transcripciones de los mítines de los candidatos presidenciables españoles y de un debate celebrado entre dichos candidatos durante la campaña electoral de 2016 y aplicamos una metodología de análisis de corpus. Los resultados permiten observar que los dirigentes políticos españoles utilizaron los marcadores de implicación de manera distinta según se tratase de un mitin de campaña o de un debate televisado. En las conclusiones señalamos qué marcadores de implicación parecen utilizarse más en la comunicación político-electoral española en la actualidad y las implicaciones que esto conlleva.

Several studies have examined the second language acquisition of English conventional expressions (CEs) in the study abroad context. However, there is a lack of studies that investigate Spanish CEs and CEs in general in the at-home context. This study examines the foreign language acquisition of Spanish CEs in the at-home context and the effect of proficiency and Spanish social interaction outside of the classroom. Three levels of learners (3rd semester, 5th semester, and graduate level) (N = 32) and a Spanish speaker comparison group (N = 10) completed an oral discourse completion task, a recognition task, and a social interaction questionnaire. Results showed that social interaction in Spanish leads to better recognition of conventional expressions and that proficiency is a significant predictor of production of these expressions. Results have pedagogical implications, including the importance for instructors to provide input of expressions related to a variety of contexts.
