Summary/Abstract: Our goal here is to construct, insofar as possible, a scenario for the study of “ho”, an Asturian interjection taking into account a sociolinguistic perspective. We preferred to start with a review of the previous literature. The results presented here look at the role of social factors – speaker gender, age, level of education, - and at the ways in which social identities and beliefs shape and influence the presence of “ho”.
