SUMMARY:PSUxLING4: Jim Michnowizc (NC State University) Language Contact, Change
	, and New Dialect  Formation in Yucatan Spanish
DESCRIPTION:Language Contact\, Change\, and New Dialect&nbsp\;Formation 
	in Yucatan Spanish\nThe Spanish spoken in the Yucatan peninsula of Mexic
	o is singled out as a distinctive dialect of Latin American Spanish\, ba
	sed on a number of linguistic features. These features include areas of 
	segmental phonetics/phonology\, as well as suprasegmental features\, suc
	h as intonation and rhythm (Michnowicz 2015\; Michnowicz &amp\; Barnes 2
	013\; Michnowicz and Hyler 2016). Many of these traits have been attribu
	ted to direct or indirect influence of the indigenous contact language i
	n Yucatan\, Maya (Lipski 2004\; Klee &amp\; Lynch 2009\; Michnowicz 2015
	). So while ‘traditional’ Yucatan Spanish shows traits that may be attri
	buted to Maya\, research has shown that younger speakers of Yucatan Span
	ish are quickly moving away from the ‘typical’ Yucatan dialect\, toward 
	a more ‘standard’ norm (see Michnowicz 2015). This talk will examine the
	 sociolinguistic factors of age and language background across a swarm o
	f linguistic variables to examine how competing social pressures are sha
	ping the future of Yucatan Spanish. In addition to the sociolinguistic a
	pparent time data collected in 2005\, more recent data (2016) adds a soc
	iolinguistic generation to the analysis in real time\, helping us to bet
	ter understand the social and linguistic dynamics at play\, including th
	e retention of some linguistic forms as possible markers of regional ide
	ntity.\n\nFor more details: https://events.la.psu.edu/event/psuxling4-ji
