Abstract

LIMERICK, Philip. THE INTERACTION EFFECTS ON VARIABLE SUBJECT PRONOUN EXPRESSION IN SPANISH. Linguist.lit. [online]. 2020, n.77, pp.300-320.  Epub Oct 28, 2021. ISSN 0120-5587.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.lyl.n77a13.

This research project sought to explore the non-orthogonal role of the factors that condition the use of pronominal subjects in Spanish (SPE) through a quantitative analysis of interviews, systematized by cross tabulation and trees of conditional inference, in order to explore such interaction effects. This study reveals that several factors together restrict the use of SPE and that the variable grammar of PSS is more complex than observed, with only mere effects in sociolinguistic literature.

Keywords : interaction effects; pronouns; Spanish; subject expression.
