Los recursos que aparacen en Extinción de ¿vos¿ en el español peninsular esclarecen diversos reajustes sufridos por ¿vos¿ en el repertorio hispano peninsular durante el Siglo de Oro. Se dilucidan, además, los portentos extra-lingüísticos y los reajustes socio-comunicativos que surgieron en ese ámbito durante esa época. Paradójicamente, la mayoría de los elementos extra-lingüísticos que se analizan están relacionados con la pérdida del porte mayestático de ¿vos¿. Igualmente, se han observado rasgos que responsabilizan a diáspora ultramarina (Indianos) por las permutaciones sociolingüísticas que se generaron en España durante esas centurias. Tras el descrédito de ¿vos¿, los interlocutores comienzan a rechazar vehementemente este sociolecto, entre tanto, tu y vuestra merced ¿ usted comenzaron a disputarse el pedestal que ostentase el desvalido contendiente. La dinámica diacrónica establece, que, pese a la desaparición de ¿vos¿ en su lar de origen, una variante suya se reinstauró en el Nuevo Mundo. Cabe destacar, que este estudio diacrónico podría generar o contribuir en diversas investigaciones sobre los pronombres de tratamiento correspondientes al castellano peninsular.
