THEMA Language and Linguistics
Synopsis This work revolves around Spanish in America. It highlights how Spanish went from being a language of conquest to a patrimonial language. Various linguistic strategies that show the strong clash between Spaniards and indigenous peoples, who at first had to find ways to understand each other and make themselves understood, are analyzed, showing how, over the centuries, Spanish in America acquired its own character because of the interbreeding of peoples and languages.
