StE, ChE, LOS CHICANOS 27 St Sp, and SW Sp. Ornstein et al. (1976) have suggested that upward mobility in this instance promotes diglossia without tending towards assimilation. Commonly children of middle-class Chicano families may be spoken to in SW Sp by their parents, regional varieties of non standard Spanish by their grand-parents, St Sp by their bilingual teachers, ChE by their Hispanic peers, and StE by their English speak ing teachers and some Anglo peers. In addition, they are often exposed to other non-standard varieties of Spanish through visits with rela tives in Mexico and other individuals in Mexico through trade.
The problem is that whereas Spanish interference might explain why bilingual s say cAüOJó for 'shoes' or chәtәp for 'shut up', it cannot explain why these same speak ers in turn commonly say shεk for 'check' or priysh for 'preach'. Since 40 CHICANO ENGLISH: AN ETHNIC CONTACT DIALECT St Sp and most non-standard varieties of Mexican Spanish do not have sh, an interference explanation is not helpful.

S. g. eyg for 'egg' or leyg for 'leg'. e. the pronunciation used in some Anglo dialects and the t pronunciation which reflects the neutralization of the £ vs. I distinction before nasals. The product of the two combined would be: ateynshәn. In summary, a variety of different explanations are possible to explain the tensing of £ to ey in ChE. Although this tensing has been described in pre-nasal linguistic environments in the ChE of California, other linguistic environments do not seem to display a tensing but rather a laxing of the tense vowel counterparts from StE.
