Abstract

From the perspective of the influence of schooling on the use of language, the main objective of this work is to propose a methodology for the study of this influence from the perspective of multidimensional analysis. What is proposed is to use Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) together with linguistic variables. This methodology maintains consistency with linguistic distance and can be used to quantify variational dimensions in addition to identifying linguistic elements. For this purpose, the elements of the corpus (based on the EAS corpus) elaborated with the standard language and dialectal speech of speakers of two generations (adults and young people) and of four towns from the Arratia valley (Dima, Lemoa, Zeanuri and Zeberio) have been compared and analysed. The data have shown that the speech of the young people of Arratia is closer to the standard than the speech of adults. Therefore, the linguistic distance is greater between adults and the standard than between young people and the standard.
