“…Studies of Paraguayan Spanish which address the outcome of Spanish-Guarani contact are far more common (e.g., Cassano, 1971Cassano, , 1973Tessen, 1974;Granda, 1979Granda, , 1980aGranda, , 1980bGranda, , 1996Velázquez-Castillo, 1994;Choi, 1998Choi, , 2000Choi, , 2001Palacios Alcaine, 2000;Pruñonosa, 2000;Gómez Rendón, 2008;Gynan, 2011;Escobar, 2012, Estigarribia, 2017, Trawick and Michnowicz, 2019Gynan and Almada, 2020). In that literature I am aware of three references to gender nonagreement phenomena with regard to the noun phrase (excluding the numerous descriptions of Paraguayan leísmo).…”

Gender Agreement in Correntino Spanish

This article provides qualitative and quantitative analyses of variable gender agreement in Correntino Spanish, the variety of Spanish spoken by both Spanish-Guarani bilinguals and Correntino Spanish monolinguals in the province of Corrientes, Argentina. Drawing on data collected from fieldwork in the province, it will be shown that this variation is conditioned by distance effects and modifier class. Synchronic gender agreement variation in Correntino Spanish is attributed to diachronic source language agentivity effects (Van Coetsem, 1988) given the lack of gender inflection in Guarani. This phenomenon would be unsurprising as a contact effect if found synchronically only in bilinguals; however, its occurrence in monolinguals sets it aside as a rare instance of variable gender agreement in monolingual Spanish. This loosening of gender agreement mirrors the development of gender in Argentine Guarani (Cerno, 2010), and these phenomena taken together shed light on the malleability of gender systems under situations of intense language contact. Together they provide a valuable example of mutual contact-induced changes in gender systems.

“…Coello Vila speculates that the suffix is 'presumably' borrowed from Tupí-Guaraní languages (1996: 173-74), but gives no evidence to support this supposition. 3 Indeed, the Guaraní diminutive suffix -í is more widely used in Paraguay (Escobar 2012). While the -ingo/a diminutive is rarely used in written language, 4 it seems to be less stigmatized than the Andean Spanish diminutive, probably because of the relative wealth and social status of the lowland speakers who use it.…”

“…El elemento 'lo' invariable se constituye como una unidad de aparición recurrente, en una función determinada, que ha sido reportado en diversos trabajos que describen la situación del castellano en contacto con lenguas indoamericanas (Cerrón Palomino, 1996;Palacios, 2000Palacios, , 2007De Granda, 1994, 1996a, 1996bGodenzzi, 1995Godenzzi, , 1996Godenzzi, , 2003Godenzzi, , 2007Escobar, 2001Escobar, , 2010; entre otros). Dicho recurso se caracteriza por neutralizar las marcas de género y número que típicamente comporta esta unidad cuando opera en función acusativa.…”

En el presente trabajo se comparó el uso de pronombres átonos en función dativo y acusativo en la producción narrativa de tres grupos de escolares monolingües de español: (A) rurales mapuches, (B) rurales no mapuches y (C) urbanos. Se parte de la premisa de que el uso de los clíticos difiere en función de la situación de convergencia de lenguas, a partir de lo cual se pueden reportar tres tipos de usos: “estándar”, “rural” y “étnico”. Se establece que el uso de los pronombres es diferenciado por parte del grupo de escolares mapuches. Esta diferencia se discute en el marco de la lingüística de contacto contemporánea y de la tipología funcional, disciplinas que permiten atribuir estos usos a posibles transferencias indirectas producidas por el contacto intenso entre el mapudungun y el castellano
