This study describes the sociolinguistic distribution of two phenomena, usually linked to lower socioeconomic status, in Chilean Spanish: the clitics redundancy (for example, “te voy a decirte el significado”) and the pronominal voseo (for example, “y vos me decí eso”). The aim of the study is to determine the association between the aforementioned phenomena and social factors such as gender, age and educational attainment of the informants. Data consisted of 108 sociolinguistic interviews taken from the PRESEEA corpus from Santiago de Chile. Data analysis leads to the conclusion that clitics redundancy and voseo, apart from being characteristic phenomena of Chilean Spanish, are also patterns typically found in speakers with lower educational attainment in the speech community under study.

Keywords : sociolinguistics patterns; morphosyntactic variation; pronominal voseo; clitics redundancy.
