LOS APÉNDICES INTERROGATIVOS EN EL CORPUS PRESEEA-SEVILLA: SOCIOLECTOS ALTO Y BAJO.

This investigation focuses on how the tag questions are distributed in PRESEEASeville corpus (high and low sociolects) from a sociolinguistic point of view. These mechanisms allow the speaker to make sure that the contact with the interlocutor remains open and, at the same time, to show agreement, to confirm following or knowledge of what it is being reported. The results showed that the most employed form in Seville was ¿no?, along with other units which were halfused such as ¿eh?, ¿sabes?, ¿entiendes? and ¿vale?, or on a low frequency like ¿de acuerdo?, ¿um?, ¿verdad?, ¿ves?, ¿comprendes? and ¿me explico? The sociolinguistic analysis brought to light the influence that the educational level and age factors had over the distribution of these markers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
