Desarrollo sociolingüístico del voseo en la región andina de Colombia (1555-1976)

Voseo, the informal use of 'vos' as a second person singular pronoun, is characterized by its morphological variety, its expressive potential, and its sociolinguistic variation. This book analyzes aspects of the colonial and modern evolution of voseo in a variety of Spanish spoken in the Andean region of Colombia. It provides quantitative as well as qualitative analyses based on examples taken from literary works, letters, and legal files.
