Ling羹穩stica del castellano chileno / Chilean Spanish Linguistics

Ya desde el siglo XIX, el castellano chileno gener籀 inter矇s en ling羹istas como Lenz (1891), quien lo aclam籀 como un geolecto din獺mico y en constante evoluci籀n. M獺s recientemente, un grupo importante de ling羹istas contempor獺neos ha indicado que existe una gran cantidad de diferencias entre el castellano de Chile y otras variedades en varios frentes ling羹穩sticos; tanto es as穩 que deber穩a considerarse como una zona dialectal independiente en el mundo hispanohablante. Su inter矇s como caso pr獺ctico se ve reforzado por la incongruencia del grado particularmente alto de variaci籀n social y el menor grado de su variaci籀n geogr獺fica.

Ling羹穩stica del castellano chileno: Estudios sobre variaci籀n, innovaci籀n, contacto e identidad es el primer volumen de su tipo, y re繳ne el trabajo de un grupo diverso e internacional de investigadores e investigadoras del castellano de Chile. Mediante el uso de m矇todos, teorizaciones y an獺lisis ling羹穩sticos actuales, este volumen examina c籀mo el uso, la variaci籀n, las actitudes, la identidad y el cambio ling羹穩stico se manifiestan de manera 繳nica en diferentes aspectos del castellano chileno y sus hablantes. Este volumen, que acerca el trabajo m獺s actual sobre la ling羹穩stica espa簽ola de Chile a la vanguardia del campo, constituye un recurso valioso para aquellos involucrados en la investigaci籀n y la ense簽anza de la ling羹穩stica, la variaci籀n y el cambio ling羹穩stico del castellano, as穩 como para estudiantes de grado y posgrado.

As early as the 19th century, Chilean Spanish attracted the interest of linguists such as Lenz (1891), who hailed it as an evolving and vibrant variety. In more recent times, a number of contemporary linguists have indicated that such a variety of differences exist between Chilean Spanish and other varieties on a number of linguistic fronts, that it should be considered as an independent dialectal zone in the Spanish-speaking world. Its interest as a case study is reinforced further by the incongruence of the particularly high degree of social variation and the small degree of geographical variation.

Chilean Spanish Linguistics: Studies on variation, innovation, contact, and identity is the first of its kind, bringing together the work of a diverse and international group of researchers on Chilean Spanish. Through the use of current linguistic methods, theorization, and analyses, this volume examines how language usage, variation, attitudes, identity, and change are uniquely manifested in different aspects of Chilean Spanish and its speakers. Bringing the most current work on Chilean Spanish linguistics to the forefront of the field, this volume will be a valuable resource to all involved in the research and teaching of Spanish language linguistics, language variation, and change, as well as undergraduate and graduate students alike.
