Dissertation Abstract:
Andean Spanish is a variety of Spanish used in Andean region from south Colombia to south-west Argentina, and it emerged as a product of contact with local Amerindian languages, Quechua and Aymara. In this thesis, based on a qualitative analysis of a part of a corpus obtained during a fieldwork in south Peru, I analyse some particular features of local Andean Spanish, comparing them to Quechua, and trying to establish whether they represent a transference from Quechua. The first chapters are focused on an overview of Latin American Spanish dialectology with respect to Andean regions, basic information on local Amerindian languages and a description of Quechua grammar compared to Spanish. In the Conclusion is an overview of studied features.
Key words:
Andean Spanish, Spanish, Quechua, Language contact, Cuzco, Peru
