| Sumario: | Style variation, as described in Style: Language Variation and Identity (Coupland, 2007) describes linguistic and speech features that are influenced by the identity of a community or an individual speaker. This thesis describes the variation of two pairs of segments ([j] – [ʝ] and [s] – [h]) in different contexts and relates them to the results from speakers’ interviews. The analysis shows how the Raizal ethnic identity underlies phonetic style variation in academic and informal L2 contexts by students from different higher educational institutions in San Andrés and Bogotá. Following Fought (2006), we describe how Creole-Spanish bilingual speakers create style repertoires based on their own perception of themselves and their ethnic identities. The study included 30 Raizal participants, 15 were studying in San Andrés and 15 were studying in Bogotá. We used a mixed-method analysis that addressed formal and informal speaking contexts. A qualitative interview, three different speech tasks, and a questionnaire were used in order to investigate style variation among raizal students. The results showed a clear pattern of style variation that favors Creole-related phonetic segments (for example, [j]). The analysis also showed that style variation is influenced by both speech context and social interactions of the students. Raizal students are modifying their ethnic identity according to different experiences in their cities and institutions, this variation is also influenced by the student’s gender, age, and Creole reported proficiency. Gender was one of the main factors of this variation, which suggested different arrangements of overt and covert prestige in both genders. This is one of the first studies to assess the underexplored field of style variation on ethnic minorities in the city of Bogotá in comparison with their places of origin. It also provides a comprehensive approach to the phonetic data and the qualitative interpretation of inferential statistics, contributing to the burgeoning body of sociolinguistic and style variation studies |
