Abstract:

"Amazonian Spanish: Language Contact and Evolution" explores the unique
origins, linguistic features, and geo-political situation of the Spanish that
has emerged in the Amazon. While this region boasts much linguistic diversity,
many of the indigenous languages found within its limits are now being
replaced by Spanish. This situation of language expansion, contact, and
bilingualism is reshaping the sociolinguistic landscape of the Amazon by
creating a number of Spanish varieties with innovative linguistic features
that require closer scholarly attention. The current book documents this
situation in detail. The chapters in this volume include work on distinct
geographical regions of the Amazon, with primary data collected using
different methodologies and language contact situations. The scholars in this
volume specialize in an array of fields, including anthropological
linguistics, bilingualism, language contact, dialectology, and language
acquisition. Their work represents both formal and functional approaches to
linguistics.
