REPEDE, Doina. The Reported Speech Use in the PRESEEA Corpus of Seville: the High Sociolect. Anu. let. lingüíst. filol. [online]. 2018, vol.6, n.1, pp.187-218.  Epub Dec 06, 2021. ISSN 2448-8224.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.adel.6.1.2018.1481.

The aim of this study is to describe the reported speech use in a sample of 24 oral interviews of high sociolect, taken from the Corpus PRESEEA-Seville; we based our study on a codification template formed by 8 independent variables –linguistic, pragmatic and social–. The results showed that the questioned informants preferred to use direct speech. Additionally, this mechanism allows sequencing the type of quotation according the level of involvement in their discourse. The most frequently introducing frame was with a verb and decir was the most employed verb to report. Also, the first generation and women showed a bigger tendency to the reported speech use.

Keywords : reported speech; high sociolect; Sociolinguistic; corpus; PRESEEA-Seville.
