HURTADO, Luz Marcela. SOCIAL DYNAMICS IN THE EXPRESSION OF IMPERSONALITY IN BOGOTÁ: A LINGUISTIC CHANGE VISIBLE IN THREE PERIODS. Linguist.lit. [online]. 2016, n.69, pp.177-191. ISSN 0120-5587. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.lyl.n69a07.
This paper examines the effect of social variables in the predominant use of uno to express impersonality. In order to evidence a possible linguistic change, we analyse interviews collected in Bogotá, Colombia, in three periods. The results reveal the importance of the level of occupation, age and sex of the speaker: the advance of the use of uno in the 1990s, coming from low levels of occupation and led by the youngest and women. Because this form is mainly used to refer to the speaker and group experiences, it is suggested that future semantic-pragmatic analysis investigate if this is a sign of the individualisation of discourse.
