Survey 1 explores the effect of immediacy on the choice of imperative used. A context is immediate if the interlocutor is already performing the action that the speaker is requesting they not do. A context is neutral if the action is not yet in progress. Respondents were provided with contexts eliciting a negative imperative response, and were asked to choose which response they would choose in each context. Results indicate that immediacy, as well as anger condition the use of the VNI, while neutral contexts disfavor it. Dialectal and social differences emerge, such that inside Buenos Aires, males use the VNI more than females in all contexts but angry ones. Outside of Buenos Aires, the only contexts in which the VNI is significantly more likely to be used are the angry ones, and there is no effect of gender. These results point to a pragmatic difference in licensing across dialects of AS.
