Abstract

This paper sets out the results of the sociopragmatic analysis of folklore or common knowledge evidentiality in a corpus of semi-directed interviews. It is based on the idea that the use of folklore evidentiality is not only strategic, but it also allows language use to be differentiated sociolectally. In order to discover the patterns of sociolectal variation in the use of this type of evidentiality, this paper describes a multiple factor analysis of the category in the PRESEEA Valencia corpus, using a previously established common methodology of analysis [anonimizado]. The preliminary results indicate that speakers from Valencia use the mechanisms of folklore or common knowledge evidentiality to mitigate when their own image is at stake. As for sociolinguistic variation, men are found to use this strategy more frequently than women.
