AB This study examines the connection between place and linguisticperformance in the language contact situation between Asturian andSpanish in the city of Gijón (Asturias), and the role that rural migrationhad on the place-based indexicality of Asturian linguistic features.Migration from rural to urban areas in the 19th and 20th centuriesresulted in an intensification of the contact between Asturianand Spanish, accentuating the contrast between the two languagesand the socio-demographic characteristics that were associated witheach. Today in Gijón we find a hybrid variety characterized by thevariable incorporation of features from Asturian. Using historicalinformation, sociolinguistic interview data, and perception experiments,I show that the variation observed in the speech of Gijón ishighly influenced by the conflict between regional and urban identity.These results build on prior sociolinguistic research that examinesthe connection between geographic space and linguistic practice,showing that speakers use language to relate to place. More generally,it supports focusing on linguistic practice at the local level toexplain variation.
