The present work, one instalment of a larger research venture, is motivated by an interest in the extent to which Dominican ethnic identity may be mediated or ascribed via linguistic attributes in national and U.S. diasporic settings. 1 As a study of Dominican speech practices, the endeavor is concerned primarily with aspects of the discipline of sociolinguistics broadly construed. However, its focus is different from that of other studies that appeal to the functional distribution of speech forms. 2 In particular, this study departs from those whose emphasis is in analyzing social structures by appeal to quantifiable linguistic data (cf. the works of W. Labov 1972; L. Milroy 1980, 1987; R. Macaulay 1975, 1991; D. Preston; P. Trudgill 1974, 1983, 1986). It does not present replicable models or statistical evidence of unique language behavior among Dominicans, but attends instead to the careful and deliberate description of language variation and language use as social phenomena (cf. the works of N. Coupland; J. Gee; H. Giles 1977, 2002; J. Gumperz 1972, 1982; B. Rampton 1995). Thus, in tandem with research and theory in communication science and the sociology of language, this work explores the ways in which interactants project identities and define social relations through language performance. 3 These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
