Societal change and the construct of social class: The case of three sociophonetic variables in Caracas Venezuela
Traditionally, sociolinguists incorporate a combination of factors such as occupation, education, income, and property value in their construction of a socioeconomic class index (Labov 2001, Bentivoglio and Sedano 1993). However, a major drawback of a static definition of social class is that it fails to account for changes across generations. One such change in Venezuelan society is that access to education has greatly expanded for recent generations, which has consequences for the range of occupations available to the population and their access to the educated language norm of the society.
The present study focuses on these societal changes in order to account for changes in the linguistic behavior of different generations within the same socioeconomic class. To achieve this, we examine the variable phenomena of intervocalic /ɾ/ deletion, syllable-final /ɾ/ deletion, and intervocalic /d/ deletion in correlation with social class and age, relating these variables to education and occupation, from 72 sociolinguistic interviews.
The findings reveal that, as access to education increases in younger generations, a sharp rise in the use of the educated variants is reflected in the lowest socioeconomic class, which contrasts with the more limited usage of the educated variants by older speakers of this same class. While upper- and middle-class speakers of all generations use educated variants of all three variables more than working-class speakers in the community, thus lending credence to the importance of the socioeconomic class variable, we argue for a deeper analysis of the independent variables used in typical socioeconomic indexing. In concluding, we argue that changes in participation in the linguistic market should be accounted for in a dynamic definition of social class in future sociolinguistic studies.
