Tú, Usted e Ibagué
Los pronombres de segunda persona en español demuestran la distinción T-V, es decir, permiten establecer distintos niveles de proximidad social dependiendo del pronombre que se elija para el interlocutor. Los estudios sobre este fenómeno abundan, sin embargo, hay una clara ausencia de estudios realizados en la ciudad de Ibagué, Colombia, que puedan servir de referencia. Este estudio hace precisamente eso. A través de una encuesta con una muestra …
El español en Coyaima, Tolima
Very few studies have been conducted on the Spanish varieties spoken by the peoples in Colombia, and even fewer in the Tolima department. This article examines the widespread belief in Coyaima, Tolima, that a distinct variety of Spanish, characterised by ethnic boundaries, exists among the indigenous population. Field data collected between 2017 and 2020 was analysed using ethnographic and interactional sociolinguistic techniques, as well as quan…
Does a quantifiable difference exist in pre- and post-EFL regional and national identities
Studies regarding second language learning and national identity tend to, understandably, use small scale ethnographic studies of individuals who have participated in English as a Foreign Language education. Through Tajfel’s Social Identity Theory, this article asks whether a large-scale quantitative survey can demonstrate whether there exists a quantifiable difference in the local and national identities of regional Colombians who have had eithe…
Sociolinguistic proximity in animal-directed speech
This article explores how sociolinguistic proximity i.e. different varieties of socially close relationships enacted through speech interaction, is formed with animals in Ibagué, Colombia. It is common to hear that people speak with pets using ‘baby-talk’ or as friends. However, there are a range of registers/stances available to construct different social relationships through speech. Data regarding talk with pets and non-pet domestic animals fr…
Language Policy and the Construction of National Identity in Colombia
The connection between identity and language is hard to deny. In the production of national identities, language plays a key role in the homogenizing of the population by political will. Since the conquest of Colombia over 500 years ago, language has been a crucial tool in the construction of national identity and the concept of nation. This article, through archival research, critical reading, textual analysis, and grounded theory, examines the …
The Effects of English as a Foreign Language Learning on the Perception and Value of Regional and National Identity in Colombia
There exist many popular ideas as to the supposed negative effects of English as a foreign language (EFL) education on local and national identities in Colombia, and this study examines whether there is any truth to such claims. While the relationship between target language and target language identity has been amply studied in the field of language and identity, the relationship between foreign language learning and original national and region…
Tú, Usted y la construcción de la heterosexualidad masculina en hombres jóvenes, de clase trabajadora en Tolima
Este artículo examina la relación entre el uso del pronombre tú entre hombres de la clase trabajadora y la homosexualidad percibida de su uso. En Colombia, el uso de tú y usted entre hombres es una elección lingüística cuidadosamente considerada –es una elección que viene vinculada con la identidad sexual y género–. Mientras sí hay estudios estadísticos acerca de este fenómeno, la investigación anterior no ha examinado el razonamiento que existe …
