Frequency and phonological effects on variable noun-adjective order in a spontaneous-speech corpus of Venezuelan Spanish
Adjective position in Spanish offers a window into how multiple levels of the grammar interact in shaping variable structures. Using a corpus of spontaneous Venezuelan speech, we extracted all noun-adjective pairings for 10 adjectives that permitted variation between pre- and post-position in prior research, yielding 928 variable tokens. Tokens were coded for differences in the syllable length and lexical frequency of the adjective relative to th…
Andé o anduve ? Regularization of preterit andar in Spain
Usage-based approaches to language variation and change can explain how token and type frequencies interact such that lower token frequency word-forms might be regularized and adapted to higher type frequency patterns. This quantitative variationist study explores the regularization of the preterit andar ‘walk’ in Spain, a phenomenon that has received little empirical attention except for one recent analysis of bogotano Spanish in a controlled pr…
Reconsidering the Social in Language Learning
The current paper offers a critical reflection on the role of the social dimension of the second language (L2) development of sociolinguistic competence. We center our discussion of L2 sociolinguistic competence on variationist approaches to second language acquisition (SLA) and the study of variable structures. We first introduce the framework of variationist SLA and offer a brief overview of some of the social, and more broadly extralinguistic,…
Exploring the Relationship Between Preference and Production as Indicators of L2 Sociophonetic Competence
Sociophonetic competence-a component of sociolinguistic and, thus, communicative competence-has been explored in both learner production and perception. Still, little is known about the relationship between learners' ability to account for sociophonetic variability in the input and their likelihood to produce such variation in output. The present study explores 21 learners' preference for a specific sociophonetic variant on an aural preference ta…
Situating Experience in Social Meaning
This article uses mixed methods to establish how social meanings are situated in lived experiences. I test whether Greek listeners recognize features of Istanbul Greek (IG) and whether they associate the same social meanings with the variety as IG speakers. Results from a verbal guise experiment and metapragmatic stancetaking discourse suggest the confluence of IG features co-present in multiple Greek varieties (a) hinders non-IG-listeners from p…

Lexical effects on mood interpretation in French adverbial clauses
The late-acquired French subjunctive–indicative contrast conveys important information about event realization and is characterized by bound morphology, form ambiguity, contextual restrictedness, and the infrequency of the subjunctive. This study contributes underrepresented adverbial-clause interpretation data and incorporates lexical effects to extend what is known about why French mood is late-acquired. We assess interpretation of four adverbi…
Progressive aspect across temporalities
Tense-mood-aspect mappings and the variable morphosyntactic structures that express them are a key aspect of language development. For instance, progressive aspect expression in Spanish might present a learnability problem because the language alternates synthetic and analytic forms to encode progressiveness (e.g., como vs. estoy comiendo ‘I am eating’). To date, however, acquisition studies have focused on present temporalities, rather than past…
Hellenes and Romans
Language users discursively circulate ideologies of identity, especially in stances taken while assigning social characteristics to enregistered personae. Previous research has demonstrated that with the Istanbul Greek (IG) diaspora, speakers use the emic terms of Ellines and Romioi to orient to or away from Mainland Greeks, respectively. In this paper, I discuss how IGs in Turkey relate such ethnonyms to linguistic features and how they rely on …
New Methods for Tracking Development of Sociophonetic Competence
Beyond language use, an important component of communicative competence is the ability to attend to sociolinguistic variation in the input, which requires knowledge regarding when to expect a particular form over another variant according to linguistic or extralinguistic factors. This study explores the acquisition of sociophonetic competence, employing a novel contextualized preference task with an aural component to examine second language (L2)…
Do Learners Connect Sociophonetic Variation With Regional and Social Characteristics
Learners must develop the ability to perceive linguistic and social meaning in their second language (L2) to interact effectively, but relatively little is known about how learners link social meaning to a single phonetic variable. Using a matched-guise test targeting coda /s/ (realized as [s] or debuccalized [h]), we explore whether L2 Spanish learners identify native speakers’ social characteristics based on phonetic variants. Our results indic…
Sociolinguistic Competence and Interpreting Variable Structures in a Second Language
Learners must develop the ability to vary language according to linguistic and situational factors to produce context-appropriate utterances. Likewise, interpreting the additional meaning conveyed through language variation is essential for successful communication. Nevertheless, research on the interpretation of the variable copulas in Spanish is scarce and we do not know how individual lexical items and patterns of co-occurrence of adjectives w…
Are the systems the same
Although two languages in contact may contain similar structures, superficial structural similarities may abscond important differences. The comparative method critically determines whether the languages differ in relative rates of variant use, the significance of independent variables, constraint rankings, and ordering within factor groups ( Poplack & Tagliamonte 2001 ). The study explored intensifier (i.e., degree modifier) variation between Sp…
Acquiring variable commands at home and abroad
Since many linguistic structures are variable (i. e. conveyed by multiple forms), building a second-language grammar critically involves developing sociolinguistic competence (Canale and Swain. 1980. Theoretical bases of communicative approaches to second language teaching and testing. Applied Linguistics 1(1). 1–47), including knowledge of contexts in which to use one form over another (Bayley and Langman. 2004. Variation in the group and the in…
Ideas Buenas o Buenas Ideas
Although linguistic research has often focused on one domain (e.g., as influenced by generative prioritization of the Autonomy of Syntax), critical findings have been uncovered by exploring the interaction of multiple domains (e.g., the link between morphological status and lateralization of /ɾ/; the syntactic–pragmatic interface’s constraints on subject expression). The position of adjectives relative to the nouns they modify is a good test case…
Menos masculino, demasiado infantil
Age is an under-analyzed variable in linguistic research concerning gender and sexuality. We consider these three constructs by examining diminutives as an index of gay sexuality in Madrid Spanish across two tasks. Although phonetic cues have received great attention, morphological features (e.g. diminutives) may also index gayness (Mendes 2014). Moreover, despite frequent usage across Spanish-speaking varieties, diminutives are primarily restric…
Analyzing the production of a non-standard form
Although the Spanish verb andar ‘to walk' has a prescriptively irregular preterit conjugation (e.g., anduve ‘I walked'), adult native speakers may produce an innovative, regularized form (e.g., andé). Nevertheless, researchers have had difficulty documenting this form of variation. The current study presents the first systematic, variationist analysis of andar regularization. We sought to answer three research questions: 1) Do speakers in Bogotá,…
Acquiring intensifier variation abroad
Research on nativelike variation in second language (L2) systems indicates that learners studying abroad may adapt to regional norms as they build sociolinguistic competence (e.g., Kanwit & Solon, ; Salgado‐Robles, ). Spanish exhibits variation between the intensifiers muy [very] and bien [very] across numerous dialects. Recent research has shown greater preference for bien in Latin America than in Spain (Brown & Cortés‐Torres, ; Kanwit, Terán, &…
Un fenómeno bien curioso
Empirical study of variation between the Spanish intensifiers bien ‘very’ and muy ‘very’ has received little attention. A recent exception is (Brown, Esther L. & Mayra Cortés-Torres. 2013. Puerto Rican intensifiers: Bien/muy variables. In Ana Maria Carvalho & Sara Beaudrie (eds.), Selected proceedings of the 6th Workshop on Spanish Sociolinguistics , 11–19. Somerville, MA: Cascadilla Proceedings Project), who considered the conditioning factors o…

What We Gain by Combining Variationist and Concept‐Oriented Approaches
This study aimed to advance research on first and second language future‐time expression in Spanish and to demonstrate the strengths of combining functionalist, concept‐oriented approaches (e.g., Andersen, 1984; Bardovi‐Harlig, 2000; Shirai, 1995; von Stutterheim & Klein, 1987) with variationist approaches. The study targeted 140 participants (120 English‐speaking learners of Spanish of varying proficiency and 20 native speakers of Spanish) who c…
The Emergence of Future Verbal Morphology in Spanish as a Foreign Language
The present study adopts a concept-oriented approach to explore the early stages of acquisition of future-time reference in second language (L2) Spanish. Specifically, it investigates the lexical and grammatical forms employed to express future time and the sequence of emergence of future verbal morphology by beginning and intermediate adult Spanish as a foreign language learners. The participants were 104 native English-speaking learners of Span…
