Variación lingüística interxeracional na Illa de Ons (Bueu). Seseo

Abstract

The Isle of Ons from the early nineteenth century until its depopulation in the 1970s, had an important speech community that has developed features and linguistic peculiarities. After the exodus of that population into the nearest peninsulas (O Salnés and O Morrazo), younger people showed greater permeability talks with the destinations. The latest generations are the most influenced for the place where they live, and the standard of Galician and Spanish. The model allows time apparent change of approach to a speech community of the Isle of Ons through three generations to describe the fricatives that the speakers use (apical, laminar and interdental) and the dependences to variables like sex, education level, language and socioeconomic status. For this, I have 24 recordings transcribed with a total of 32 informants. We can see that the first generations always has seseo, alternating between apical and laminar (predominantly the last). The second has a greater hesitation as to the use or not of seseo, being the most apical what is used in this mode. Finally, the third generation shows mostly fricative interdental therefore not use the seseo and, in the case of use, it is the type apical.
