Mutual Influence in Situations of Spanish Language Contact in the
Americas focuses on the structural results of contact between
Spanish and Maya, Quechua, Guarani, Portuguese, and English in the
Americas. This edited volume explores the various ways in which
these languages affect the linguistic structure of Spanish in
situations of language contact, and also how Spanish impacts their
linguistic structure. Across ten chapters, this book offers a broad
survey of bidirectional influence in Spanish contact situations
both geographically (in the US Southwest, the Yucatan Peninsula,
the Andean regions of Ecuador and Peru, and the Southern Cone) and
structurally (in the areas of phonetics, phonology, morphosyntax,
semantics, and pragmatics). By examining the potential structural
effects that two languages have on one another, it provides a novel
and more holistic perspective on mutual linguistic influence than
that of previous work on language contact. The volume serves as a
reference on mutual influence in bilingual language varieties and
will be of interest to researchers, scholars, and graduate students
in Hispanic linguistics, and more broadly in language contact.
