Abstract:

The increasing diversity of the U.S. Latino population has given rise to a
growing population of “mixed” Latinos. This is a study of such individuals
raised in Chicago, Illinois who have one Mexican parent and one Puerto Rican
parent, most of whom call themselves “MexiRicans.” Given that these two
varieties of Spanish exhibit highly salient differences, these speakers can be
said to experience intrafamilial dialect contact. The book first explores the
lexicon, discourse marker use, and phonological features among two generations
of over 70 MexiRican speakers, finding several connections to parental
dialect, neighborhood demographics, and family dynamics. Drawing from critical
mixed race theory, it then examines MexiRicans’ narratives about their ethnic
identity, including the role of Spanish features in the ways in which they are
accepted or challenged by monoethnic, monodialectal Mexicans and Puerto Ricans
both in Chicago and abroad. These findings contribute to our understandings of
dialect contact, U.S. Spanish, and the role of language in ethnic identity.
