Abstract

This article outlines the importance of researching linguistic markers of national identity both in written from and audio-visual media featuring authentic spoken language. Specific words and phonetic traits are analyzed, relating the characters from the film «La estrategia del caracol» («The Strategy of the Snail») to certain dialectical groups in the Colombian national variety of Spanish. The unique nature of phonetics in speech is noted to have potential as a future avenue for research on linguistic markers of national identity in audio-visual media.
