I. INTRODUCTION IT IS COMMONLY RECOGNIZED in modern scholarship that the period in which the Spanish language as a whole experienced the greatest amount of change and variation was the Golden Age. (1) It is in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries that we see not only a grand and expansive literary blossoming in Spain, but also the geographical expansion of the Spanish language to a new continent, where it begins to grow and flourish in a fashion parallel to the evolution taking place in the Peninsula. Because of the drastic changes that are seen in the language during this period, it is also in the Golden Age that the issue of appropriate levels of formality and deference in speech come to the forefront of the sociolinguistic arena.
