Description
Summary:Three generations which have known different sociolinguistic situations live side by side in Luzaide/Valcarlos. We gave exactly the same questionnaire to speakers from the three generations (dealing with lexicon, nominal morphology, verbal morphology & syntax) to measure variation relative to parameters of gender and, above all, age. This study, performed from the perspective of sociolinguistic dialectology, aimed to report on the repercussions of the political border, the loss of the language & the lifestyles of the speakers on language form. Bearing in mind the differences between speakers in the system, we considered parameters used in sociolinguistics, as well as the Cartesian geography used in traditional dialectology to mark the dialectal division, in search of other social factors. By way of an appendix, we have included a set of phonological features in order that they be documented, their being interesting subjects for future studies. Adapted from the source document
