GUARIN, Daniel. A SOCIAL-PHONOLOGICAL APPROACH TO COLOMBIAN SPANISH IN PHILADELPHIA, UNITED STATES: THE CASE OF THE PHONOLOGICAL VARIABLE /S/ IN FOUR SPEAKERS FROM DIFFERENT REGIONS OF THE COUNTRY. Linguist.lit. [online]. 2020, n.78, pp.163-188.  Epub 10-Nov-2021. ISSN 0120-5587.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.lyl.n78a07.

This research analyzed the effects of language contact in Colombian Spanish in Philadelphia (United States) in relation to the phonological variable /s/. Four speakers from different regions of Colombia participated, who have lived in the city for more than 15 years. After analyzing the phonetic variations, it was concluded that there is no linguistic convergence or koineization in the Colombian Spanish spoken by the participants, because despite the time spent abroad, they preserve the dialectal phonetic variants. In addition, it was established that the speakers show stylistic variation according to the degree of formality or informality of the speech situation.

Palavras-chave : Colombian Spanish; phonological variation; language convergence; koineization; Spanish language in the United States.
