Sociofonética andaluza y lingüística perceptiva de la variación

Intra-regional differences in the social perception of allophonic variation: The evaluation of [tʃ] and [ʃ] in Huelva and Lepe (Western Andalucía)

“…Finally, listeners with more formal education evaluated guises with [tʃ] of higher occupational prestige than those with less formal education perhaps reflecting pressures of the linguistic market (Bourdieu, 1991;Bourdieu & Boltanski, 1975;Sankoff & Laberge, 1978). These findings support previous production studies of /tʃ/ variation in which [tʃ] is favored by those with more formal education (Harjus, 2018;Melguizo Moreno, 2007a;Moya Corral & García Wiedemann, 1995a;Regan, 2020a;Villena Ponsoda, 1996). The influence of increased educational attainment cannot be underestimated.…”

“…The interaction between variant and listener gender demonstrated that female listeners had a larger difference in cosmopolitan-ness evaluations between [tʃ] and [ʃ] than male listeners. In this regard, if women regard [tʃ] as even more cosmopolitan than male listeners, this could provide insight into why women favor [tʃ] more than men (Harjus, 2018;Melguizo Moreno, 2007a;Moya Corral & García Wiedemann, 1995a, 1995bRegan, 2020a;Villena Ponsoda, 1996). The interaction between variant and speaker gender indicated that male speakers received a larger difference in occupational prestige evaluations between [tʃ] and [ʃ] than female speakers.…”

“…It is noteworthy how many mentions Cádiz and Isla Cristina received for the fricative variant. While production studies in the cities of Granada, Málaga, and Huelva suggest dialect levelling from [ʃ] to [tʃ], studies in the province of Cádiz, specifically in Jerez de la Frontera (Carbonero et al, 1992;Harjus, 2018) and Cádiz capital (Payán Sotomayor, 1988), demonstrate a great degree of maintenance of the traditional Andalusian feature [ʃ]. While more recent production studies are needed throughout Andalucía, the perceptions of the speakers in Huelva and Lepe could reflect the possibility that there is simply more [ʃ] production in Cádiz and in Isla Cristina than in other areas in Andalucía.…”

“…[ʃ] was most favored by speakers of the lowest socioeconomic level, older generations, and, unlike in other communities, women. In a more recent study in Jerez de la Frontera, based on 18 speakers, Harjus (2018) found 19% [tʃ] and 81% [ʃ] realizations. The speakers who most favored [ʃ] were of middle and older generations, men, and those with less formal education.…”

Acomodación sociolingüística de los inmigrantes rumanos a la norma local: La /d/ intervocálica

“…Pero, si hay una zona donde el estudio de la /d/ intervocálica ha llamado especialmente la atención a los investigadores, ha sido Andalucía, donde contamos con trabajos, entre otras, de las ciudades de Jaén (Moya Corral 1979), Córdoba (Uruburu 1996), Cádiz (Payán 2013), Jerez de la Frontera (Harjus 2018), Huelva (De las Heras et al 1996), Granada (Moya et al 2012, Málaga ( Villena 2012), Sevilla (Jiménez 2015), etc., así como también han surgido estudios de carácter comparativo como el de Villena y Moya (2016) para las ciudades de Granada y Málaga, o algunos dedicados al fenómeno en Andalucía en general, como el de Martín García (2002). Asimismo, Cruz Ortiz (2019) lleva a cabo una investigación sobre el mantenimiento y elisión de la /d/ intervocálica en los políticos andaluces en Madrid que constituye, como en nuestro estudio, un caso de adaptación fonética entre dos variedades.…”
