Teachers’ Perspectives on the Instruction and Acquisition of Dialectal Second-Person Pronouns and Conjugations in the U.S. L2 Spanish Classroom
Despite the fact that more than 65 million Spanish speakers across Latin America use vos as the informal second-person singular pronoun instead of tú, vos remains underrepresented in U.S. Spanish curricula. Meanwhile, vosotrxs, the informal second-person plural pronoun used exclusively in Spain, is regularly included in textbooks. This study qualitatively examines how postsecondary Spanish instructors navigate these pronouns and their conjugation…
Discoursivization and Contact-Induced Language Change: Spanish Connectives in Balearic Catalan
Borrowing can be facilitated or inhibited by linguistic constraints in language contact situations. This paper examines one such constraint: the effects of discoursivization on the usage of Spanish discourse connectives in Balearic Catalan. Using a variationist sociolinguistic analysis of conversational corpus data, this study seeks to determine the role of discourse among the social and linguistic factors that govern this contact phenomenon. The…
Se fue una parte de mi corazón con él: El uso de la metáfora en artículos de prensa sobre desapariciones en Nuevo León, México

El enfoque son …
Perception of the Salvadoran [sh] and [θ] by L2 Spanish Learners
This paper addresses how adult learners of Spanish at a large US university perceive two common sibilants: [sh] and [θ]. While the L2 perception of these sounds has been thoroughly investigated in many varieties of Spanish, they have yet to be studied in the Salvadoran dialect. The present investigation seeks to fill that gap, and preliminary results show that the intermediate-level learners almost always perceived the full dorso-alveolar [s] cor…
