Cambio dialectal en el español de hablantes de herencia y los inmigrantes en Estados Unidos
Proposal Description
The Spanish of Hispanic people in the United States originates from a variety of countries that have different dialects and therefore Hispanic communities feature a mix of dialects and can create dialectal change. The contact of different types of Spanish as well as the contact between Spanish and English creates new linguistic variations such as Spanglish and changed national dialects. This project focuses on the research of the evolution of Spanish in places with diverse Hispanic communities such as Houston, New York, and Miami, Additionally, this paper explores the connection between dialectal changes and their relation to predominant communities and associations with socioeconomic class. This project is the analysis of this research about dialectal change in Hispanic communities and heritage speakers. The research shows that there are dialectal changes when there is contact with other dialects and with English. Most importantly, there are dialectal changes when aspects of a native dialect are associated with negative stereotypes. Spanish is one of the predominant languages in the United States so the study of dialectal changes is important.
