Pluralización no normativa de haber en español

Abstract

The pluralization of the verb haber in Spanish – especially in the medially oral uses of the language – is one of the linguistic phenomena of the conflict between the prescriptive norm and the most widespread customary use of our language. In the present study, we will begin by treating the phenomenon theoretically (pluralization, uses, grammatical variation, social factors, etc.) to analyze its employment and valuation in the Andalusian community under a methodological and practical framework in order to define the degree of vitality and acceptance from the diastratic and diaphasic level of the language. To this end, we will pay attention to the results of the examination of linguistic attitudes carried out on a group of informants from the provinces of Almería and Seville.
