Patrones sociolingüísticos de pronunciación en la ciudad de Granada: variación sociofonética del ceceo
Sociolinguistic Patterns of Pronunciation in the City of Granada: Sociophonetic Variation of Ceceo

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to propose a multivariable linguistic analysis model capable of explaining the pronunciation of the consonant /s/ in the Granadian variety of Spanish, with a special focus on the ceceo phenomenon. Based on the research conducted to date, we intend to broaden the study of the pronunciation of the consonant /s/ in the diatopic context of the city of Granada, complementing social data and incorporating linguistic and stylistic variables, through bivariable and multivariable analyses. Th e data analyzed come from the PRESEEAGranada corpus (Moya Corral 2007, 2009, 2010). Th e results suggest that the social variables of gender, generation, and level of education (ceceo is more characteristic of men, people of the second and third generation, and people with a primary or secondary level of education), as well as the linguistic variable of priming (assimilation to preceding vernacular solutions occurs) and the stylistic variable of the interaction phase (the end of the interview being less formal is the most favorable context for ceceo) are signifi cant. However, the random effect of the informant variable also emerges as important, indicating that it is a complex phenomenon that requires detailed analysis.
