Varieties of Spanish in Contact: Overt Sociolinguistic Accommodation Among Western-Andalusians in Madrid
Findings from a Preliminary Study
Abstract
The Andalusian variety is one of the most recurrently studied in Spanish. However, little research has been made so far to investigate intra-language variation among young and highly-educated Andalusians. Additionally, in approaching the study of intra-linguistic variation, delving into speakers’ own views on certain linguistic elements is important to gain a deeper understanding of the beliefs behind their linguistic behavior. For these reasons, this contribution presents the sociolinguistic views of a group of young and highly-educated Andalusians in a displacement situation, where their less prestigious vernacular variety faces a more prestigious variety, i.e. the one of the capital city of Spain (Madrid).
