Patrones sociolingüísticos de pronunciación en la ciudad de Granada: variación sociofonética del seseo
Sociolinguistic Patterns of Pronunciation in the City of Granada: Sociophonetic Variation of Seseo

Summary/Abstract: The analyses carried out so far show that three patterns of pronunciation of the explosive sibilant consonants coexist in Granada. On one hand, there is the predominant distinguishing pronunciation, followed by the ‘seseo’ pronunciation and the ‘ceceo’ pronunciation. In this article, based on data extracted from the PRESEEA-Granada corpus, we analyse the seseo and, for the fi rst time, consider linguistic, social and stylistic variables in order to present a statistical model that explains its presence in the corpus. Bivariate analysis (with SPSS) and multivariate analysis (with Rbrul executed in R) reveal that the only signifi cant variables are: “posterior consonant context in the sequence”, “priming”, “presence of sibilants in the syllabic onset”, as well as “generation” and “education”. All other variables are ruled out.
