Question Tags: The Case Study of ¿no ve? in the Spanish-Aymara Bilinguals’ Speech

This article offers a first insight into tag questions description in Bolivian Spanish. In particular, it explores the pragmatic functions of tag question ¿no ve? in the variety of Bolivian Spanish spoken by Aymara-Spanish bilingual speakers. The analysis identifies the relation between the position of ¿no ve? and its pragmatic functions. Furthermore, it displays this tag question multidimensionality that may operate on different conversational layers at the same time. The study also describes the impact of social factors (sex, age and education) on the use of ¿no ve?. The original data used for the present analysis comes from the Corpus oral del español hablado por bilingües de aymara-español.
