SALAZAR CARO, Aura Rosa  and  RODRIGUEZ LOPEZ, Raúl. «EL VALLENATO VALLENATO SE HABLA CANTAO’»: SOME LINGUISTIC ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE SPANISH OF VALLEDUPAR (COLOMBIA). Linguist.lit. [online]. 2021, n.79, pp.34-53.  Epub Nov 15, 2022. ISSN 0120-5587.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.lyl.n79a02.

This article analyzes how the natives of Valledupar define their own speech. In theoretical terms, this study embraces the sociolinguistic three-component mentalist model through an exploratory study with a mixed approach that follows the direct method. The results reveal that the speakers consider that Spanish is spoken cantao in Valledupar and, on the other hand, they consider that the Spanish spoken in Valledupar is more prestigious than other variants in the region and, in addition, they recognize some linguistic variations in the city.

Keywords : Valledupar; vallenato; linguistic attitudes; Spanish of Valledupar.
