Some morphosyntactic features of the variety of Spanish spoken by Mapudungun-Spanish bilinguals are presented. The basic premise adopted here is that this contact variety of Spanish presents constructions ascribable to the influence of the Mapuche substratum in diverse morphosyntactic domains. However, the conventionalization of them is conditioned by the typological distance between the codes, the saliency of specific domains and their coding, and the innovation of the linguistic repertory by the speakers. In Spanish, these functional dimensions are manifested in the contact variety through particular patterns of use and meaning adopting diverse linguistic forms. New developments in the study of the domains of agreement, evidentiality, periphrastic expression estar + gerund and negation in the Spanish spoken by bilingual Mapudungun-Spanish speakers are presented.

This paper compares the use of unaccented pronouns in accusative and dative function in the narrative production of three groups of students monolingual in Spanish: (a) rural Mapuche, (b) rural non-Mapuche and (c) urban. Our assumption is that the use of clitics is different according to the situation of contact between languages. In this context, we establish three types of uses: "standard use", "rural use" and "ethnical use". The Mapuche group uses the pronouns in different forms from the other two groups. This difference is discussed in the frame of contemporary contact linguistic and functional and typological linguistic. This approach allows us to attribute this uses to indirect transfer porduced by the intense and historical contact between the Mapudungun and Spanish. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
