Mutual Influence in Situations of Spanish Language Contact in the Americas, 2023

This collection will focus on the structural results of contact between Spanish and Maya, Quechua... more This collection will focus on the structural results of contact between Spanish and Maya, Quechua, Guarani, Portuguese, and English as spoken in the Americas. It will not only explore the various ways in which these languages affect the linguistic structure of Spanish in situations of language contact, but also how Spanish impacts their linguistic structure. The collection will address potential mutual linguistic influences on the lexicon, morphosyntax, phonology, semantics, and pragmatics of Spanish contact pairs (Spanish-Maya, Spanish-Quechua, Spanish-Guarani, Spanish-Portuguese, and Spanish-English). Studies of each language pair reveal that languages in contact affect one another structurally and, though outcomes are different depending on the pair in question, there is an undeniable mutual influence that occurs in bilingual language varieties. Given these results, we propose that this dual mutual influence be examined more closely for a wide variety of language contact pairs worldwide.
