In this paper, I address sociolinguistic concerns related to the Judeo-Spanish language from prior to the expulsion of the Sephardic Jews from Spain (1492) and Portugal (1497) until the present day. After discussing relevant sociolinguistic models pre- and post-expulsion in order to account for variation across Judeo-Spanish speech communities worldwide, I discuss the current ethnolinguistic vitality of the language as well as the domains of use whereby speakers continue to utilize their heritage language. I then discuss sociolinguistic variation, noting variables that may condition elements of speech, supported by synchronic and diachronic studies related to the language. Given such factors, I examine two major contact situations: that of code-switching across communities as well as contact with non-Sephardic (“Modern”) varieties of Spanish. I conclude by offering ways in which students and scholars of the language can advance Judeo-Spanish sociolinguistics as a field, including a discussion of current research methodologies and other key considerations of the 21st century.

犹太西班牙语的社会语言学

在本文中，我从西班牙（1492年）和葡萄牙（1497年）驱逐犹太人犹太人到现在，一直解决与犹太-西班牙语言有关的社会语言问题。在讨论驱逐前后的相关社会语言模型以解决全球犹太裔-西班牙语音社区之间的差异之后，我将讨论该语言当前的语言生命力以及演讲者继续使用其传统语言的使用领域。然后，我将讨论社会语言变异，并指出与语言相关的历时性和历时性研究支持的变量，这些变量可能会影响语音元素。考虑到这些因素，我研究了两种主要的联系情况：跨社区的代码转换以及与西班牙非Sephardic（“现代”）品种的联系。
