Resumen
El estudio empírico de la sociofonética del español en contacto con otras lenguas ha aumentado en la última década. Siguiendo con esta área de investigación, el presente estudio examina la aspiración de las oclusivas sordas en el español guatemalteco comparando los factores (extra-)lingüísticos que afectan a la variación en las comunidades monolingües y bilingües (español-kaqchikel), mediante el marco teórico de la sociolingüística comparativa (Poplack, Shana, y Stephen Levey. 2010. “Contact-induced Grammatical Change: A Cautionary Tale.” En Language and Space: An International Handbook of Linguistic Variation. Volume 1: Theories and Methods, ed. por Peter Auer, y Jürgen Erich Schmidt, 391–419. Berlin: Mouton de Gruyter.Google Scholar logo with link to Google Scholar). Los resultados demuestran que, en general, el VOT de esta muestra del español guatemalteco es más largo de lo que se ha descubierto para las variedades sin contacto, pero es paralelo al español en contacto con el maya yucateco (Michnowicz, Jim, y Lindsey Carpenter. 2013. “Voiceless Stop Aspiration in Yucatan Spanish: A Sociolinguistic Analysis.” Spanish in Context 101: 410–437. Google Scholar logo with link to Google Scholar). Aunque, mayoritariamente, los factores lingüísticos afectaron a la variación del VOT, el sexo biológico también resultó relevante. Se discutirán tres puntos clave que señalan la posibilidad de contacto lingüístico como causa, pero se necesitan investigaciones futuras para confirmar definitivamente los efectos del contacto.
