Abstract

The current study analyzes mood alternation in Spanish spoken in Georgia among first-generation Mexican immigrants. Using sociolinguistic interview data, tokens of the subjunctive and indicative in dependent clauses were examined, particularly in the following syntactic contexts: depender, aunque, me gusta que, no porque, quizás, tal vez, and no sé si/ cómo/dónde/qué. We argue that mood selection in the contexts under study is determined by the evaluation of the proposition in the dependent clause. We then use this data to inform theories of possible world semantics (i.e., Anand and Hacquard 2013; Giannakidou and Mari 2021; Villalta 2008) to better understand mood alternation. Moreover, while many U.S. Spanish varieties may demonstrate what Silva-Corvalán (1994, 91) refers to as “a reduced system that made it more difficult to distinguish between more or less possible situations in a hypothetical world,” we show that cases of alternation in the present data still differentiate speaker meaning and evaluation.
乔治亚州墨西哥西班牙语的情绪变化
目前的研究分析了第一代墨西哥移民在乔治亚州西班牙语中的情绪变化。使用社会语言学访谈数据,研究了从句中虚拟语气和指示语气的表征,特别是在以下句法语境中:dependent、aunque、me gusta que、no porque、quizás、tal vez和no sési/cómo/dónde/qué。我们认为,所研究的语境中的语气选择是由对从句中命题的评价决定的。然后,我们使用这些数据为可能的世界语义理论提供信息(即,Anand和Hacquard 2013;Giannakidou和Mari 2021;Villalta 2008),以更好地理解情绪交替。此外,尽管许多美国西班牙语变体可能证明了Silva Corvalán(1994,91)所说的“一个简化的系统,它使区分假设世界中或多或少可能的情况变得更加困难”,但我们表明,当前数据中的交替情况仍然区分说话人的含义和评价。
