“How one thing leads to another: subject pronouns,
verb tense, and conflict in Spanish oral discourse?
Dr. Flores-Ferrán specializes in sociolinguistics and, in particular, Spanish in the U.S. In her research, she has investigated several linguistic features in narratives of personal experience. In her unique style of eliciting narratives, lengthy monologues have been obtained from Sp;anish speakers which have provided her with access to not only their rich personal stories, but also a wide-range of
Linguistic and stylistic features that have continued to enhance her research over the past ten years. In her presentation, she will trace the trajectory of her research conducted in NYC with Puerto Ricans to that of New Jersey Mexicans and also Uruguayans, Colombians, and Dominicans. Several topics such as pronominal expression and verb tense, as well as priming, the use of ‘yo’ and ‘uno’, mitigation strategies, and conflict in narratives will be discussed.
