“…This has resulted in a widespread presence of both languages, with Galician making notable gains in the last 30 years. However, as a result of a long process of language shift (especially since the 16th century, when Spanish became the only official language of the kingdom), the most common language for everyday use in the largest cities of Galicia is still Spanish rather than Galician (Monteagudo and Santamarina, 1993), and the number of Galician speakers among the youth continues to decline even though they strongly support the maintenance and transmission of Galician (González González et al, 2007;Loureiro-Rodríguez et al, 2012;O'Rourke, 2011). …”

Aims: This study investigates the perception and production of the Galician mid vowel contrasts by 54 early Spanish-Galician bilinguals in the cities of Vigo and Santiago (Galicia, Spain). Empirical data is provided to examine the role of language dominance in the perception and production of Galician mid vowel contrasts in order to determine whether the Galician vowel system is becoming more Spanish-like as a result of extensive contact with Spanish in urban areas. Methods: Perception and production data for each mid vowel contrast were collected in (1) binary forced-choice identification tasks, (2) AX discrimination tasks and (3) a reading-aloud task. Results: Results from binary forced-choice identification and AX discrimination tasks indicate that Spanish-dominant bilinguals have great difficulty in discriminating between these mid vowels while Galician-dominant subjects display a robust categorical identification of the two mid vowel categories. Acoustic analyses of their productions show that Galician-dominant bilinguals implement a Galician-specific /e/-/ɛ/ contrast but Spanish-dominant ones produce a single, merged Spanish-like front mid vowel. However, both language dominance groups seem to maintain a more robust /o/-/ɔ/ contrast. This asymmetry between front and back mid vowels is found in the productions of both language dominance groups. Conclusion: These results show that language dominance is a strong predictor of the production and perception abilities of Spanish-Galician bilinguals, and that only Galician-dominant subjects in these urban areas possess two independent phonetic categories in the front and back mid vowel space.

“…A situación de contacto existente entre o galego e o castelán en Galicia non é recente, senón que se remonta á etapa de formación de ambas as dúas linguas, acentuándose progresivamente ao longo da historia Mariño Paz (1998). Pese á antigüidade deste escenario de coexistencia de ambas as dúas linguas, o uso do castelán estivo restrinxido, ata hai ben pouco, a unha minoría da poboación urbana das clases sociais máis elevadas e a determinados contextos administrativos (Monteagudo & Santamarina 1993;Regueira & Fernández Rei 2020). Non é ata o século xix, e principalmente durante o século xx cando, tras a uniformización económica, política e cultural no Estado español, se produce un cambio substancial na expansión do castelán no resto da poboación.…”

“…Nas descricións tradicionais, baseadas na impresión dos autores, afírmase que o español de Galicia presenta a distinción entre vogais medias altas e baixas, tomada do galego. Así, Abuín Soto (1970: 23) afirmaba rotundamente que "el castellano de Galicia tiene una Fonética gallega" (tamén Monteagudo & Santamarina 1993, Rojo 2004, Ramallo 2007. Mais xa Porto Dapena (2001) observa que "en general, los estudiantes universitarios de las últimas generaciones, con el castellano como primera lengua, pero que cursaron estudios de gallego tanto en primaria como en bachillerato, presentan serias dificultades para distinguir entre abierta y cerrada tanto en e como en o".…”

A preocupación polos modelos de lingua, especialmente os presentes na actividade pública, vén sendo obxecto de discusión nos últimos anos, baixo a etiqueta de “calidade da lingua” ou de “autenticidade”. Neste artigo arguméntase que o estudo da variación, especialmente desde a perspectiva da sociolingüística interaccional, resulta imprescindible para comprender o comportamento das persoas que están a usar a lingua no espazo público. A partir dese coñecemento a lingüística poderá realizar algunhas contribucións útiles para que as persoas que protagonizan eses espazos sociais poidan desenvolver as variedades que lles permitan alcanzar os seus obxectivos comunicativos, mais, cando menos no tocante á lingua oral, esas variedades non son susceptibles dunha planificación de arriba a abaixo como ocorre con certos aspectos do estándar escrito.
