Castilian transcodic markers in Internet Catalan : analysis of generic, regional and linguistic factors

TL;DRAbstract

This dissertation is a study of Castilian transcodic markers in the Catalan written on the Internet. Thirty Castilian transcodic markers representing five categories were run through the interface of the Corpus d'Ús del Català a la Web (CucWeb) to collect information in order to conduct both qualitative and quantitative analysis. The major research questions to be answered deal with the absolute and relative frequencies of these transcodic markers in the CucWeb and the factors behind the production of these non-standard forms. In addition to the frequency of the Castilian transcodic markers in the CucWeb, the initial study provides qualitative analysis of the thirty transcodic markers that highlight patterns of usage. The second investigation consists of ten case studies that utilize multivariate analysis to determine the generic, regional, and linguistic factors behind the usage of these selected transcodic markers.
