Analysisof second person (vos-tú) pronominal addressing forms in a witchraft trial in 1602
Abstract
This work intends to reinforce the fact that the voseo form was still in use during the first years of the 17th century, as an addressing formula used by the most disadvantaged social groups. This formula had slowly detached itself from its prestige feature and ended up fighting against informal addressing formulas to survive. To this end, several oral interventions extracted from a witchcraft trial in 1602 are analysed. These interventions reconstruct situations which include manifestations expressed in direct style.
