Influencias de quechua y guaraní en el español andino: observaciones introductorias
The influence of Quechua and Guaraní in the andean Spanish: introductory observations

Summary/Abstract: The study of contact languages is an area that has acquired a lot of relevance in the last decades. Between the indigenous languages of South America it is especially the contact with Guaraní and Quechua with Spanish which is being examined and researched. The present article is developed in this same research line, but we refer to the contact between Quechua and Spanish from the perspective of the vision of the world represented by Andean languages and the Spanish. The influence of Quechua and Guaraní in the Spanish language has generated diverse types of linguistic phenomena of interference and convergence, whose result is Andean Spanish. We argue that the majority of morphosintactic time concerning interferences is due to the difference of the visions of the world represented by Andean languages from one side, and the Spanish from the other, being the Spanish time-oriented language while the Andean languages are oriented on aspect. In this study we will approach the importance of this reason, which has to be taken in consideration while so different languages are researching.
