El castellano hablado en un área de contactosDOI: 10.4067/S0718-93032009000100002 Keywords: dialectology, geographical variation, languages in contact, mapuche influence on chilean spanish. Abstract: this is a dialectal variation study of the spanish language spoken in a southern area of chile, a dialectal variety whish is characterized by its: a) colateral geographical nature vis a vis the urban centers; b) constant contact with mapudungun (the language of the mapuche people). the variations are observed in oral texts -essentially narrative ones- taken directly from adult peasants who are either spanish monolinguals or spanish-mapudungun bilinguals. our analysis while including different levels of linguistic structures has facilitated the verifying of some form usages coming from mapudungun, as well a finding similarities and differences between both groups of speakers.
