Réplicas afirmativas: contraste entre el español peninsular y el venezolano

We will examine the use of operators as sí, claro, vale, bien, ya, okey, por supuesto, etc. and of axiological expressions as muy bien, qué bonito, buenísimo, qué fino, etc. in a corpus of European Spanish and Venezuelan Spanish oral narratives. In these texts a “predetermined” coupled-stability index (sí / claro operators) is given by the dialogical typology. In contrast to this stable use, in the present corpus a distinction is made, by means of the variability indices, between a tendency to use ya / vale in the European community and to use okey / así es in the Venezuelan one.
