Between local and standard varieties
-
Juan-Andrés Villena-Ponsoda
Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to show evidence of the formation of an intermediate regional variety between, on the one hand, central and standard Castilian Spanish and, on the other, southern innovative dialects. This new variety, which has gradually been emerging in the urban centres of east Andalusia, is a sort of koine melting innovative non-standard phonological traits with standard features.
This paper presents data and results from a research project on the Sociolinguistic Patterns of Castilian Spanish (Pasos), as part of an International Research Project on the American and Castilian Urban Varieties of Spanish (Preseea-Project). Pasos currently deals with dialect convergence and divergence affecting both central conservative and southern innovative varieties.1
