DIECK, Marianne. "¿Y QUÉ MÁS HACE UNO, PUES?": THE EXPRESSION OFIMPERSONALITY IN THE SPANISH SPOKEN IN MEDELLÍN. Linguist.lit. [online]. 2016, n.69, pp.145-175. ISSN 0120-5587. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.lyl.n69a06.
This paper offers a description of the use of impersonal constructions with uno, se and the 2Sg and 3Pl markers in the spoken Spanish of Medellín, Colombia. 447 impersonal constructions are analysed from seven semi-structured interviews with speakers that belong to different age, gender and educational groups from the PRESEEA-Medellín Corpus. The results reveal that the speakers of Medellín tend to be homogeneous with regard to their use of impersonalisation strategies (preferred forms, functions, interpretation and restrictions), and that their uses coincide with those uses and restrictions reported in previous studies on general Spanish. The only aspect that varies among the speakers of this study is the general frequency in which the impersonal structures are used: men, the young generation (20-34) and those with lower levels of education produce more impersonal structures than those speakers belonging to the other groups.
