El español en contacto con otras lenguas peninsulares: los corpus diacrónicos de Galicia, Navarra y Mallorca

Abstract

This article focuses on a number of issues related to the historical study of the Spanish varieties spoken in the bilingual areas of the Iberian Peninsula. This is an aspect that tends to be overlooked in the relevant literature. The article offers a state of the art for the diachronic study of Spanish in three areas -Galicia, Navarra and Mallorca- where contact with Galician, Basque and Catalan, respectively, takes place. For each one of these areas, the socio-historical context of the contact, the main available studies and the available corpora, whether already developed or in progress, are presented. The large number of phenomena of theoretical interest that occur in these varieties justifies the need tocontinue developing materials for their study; in this vein, some proposals for future
directions are pointed out.
