%X in this article we analyze the linguistic and social factors which influence the alternance between the subjunctive forms -ra and -se in the corpus socioling¨¹¨ªstico de caracas 1987. we examine linguistic and sociolinguistic variables, such as tense, clause polarity, type of context, presence of subjunctive in the previous clause, speakers£¿ age, socioeconomic level and gender. the form -se is not frequent in the caracas spoken language and the variables which contribute significantly to the use of this form are the plusquamperfect tense, negative polarity, the presence of -ra in the antecedent clause, the "protasis" and "apodosis" contexts in the conditional sentence, the third and fourth socioeconomic strata and the speakers£¿ age (30 to 45 years old).
