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
