Project description
 This project aims to provide a multivariate analysis of the nominal vocative in present-day Spanish (e.g. ¡Hola, chica! ‘Hey, girl!’) from a cognitive-functional, usage-based perspective. The formal and functional productivity of the Spanish nominal vocative expressions will be scrutinized in light of (socio)linguistic and situational variables, as well as personality traits of the speakers.
