CEPEDA RUIZ, Cristal Yeseidy. Tú or usted? Tuteo stigma in Bogotá. Anu. let. lingüíst. filol. [online]. 2017, vol.5, n.2, pp.35-65.  Epub 24-Ene-2022. ISSN 2448-8224.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.adel.5.2.2017.1452.

This article analyses the influence of social factor gender (both the speaker and the interlocutor) in the selection of pronominal forms of address: tú and usted in Bogotá city (Colombia); We study the association of ‘tuteo’ with feminine speech and gay speech, specifically, the rejection of tú as address between Bogota’s masculine citizens and migrants living in Bogota, we proposed that this pragmatic restriction caused by the gender factor favors the use of usted and prevents that ‘tuteo’ expands its application in different contexts in Bogota. The article shows a quantitative (absolute and relative frequencies) and qualitative (perception and speaker’s attitudes) analysis of the data obtained from 36 sociolinguistic questionnaires, as well as fragments from the television series 'Betty la fea' (RCN television, 2010).

Palabras llave : forms of address; power; solidarity; stigma; social stereotype.
