Persistencia de las ideas de Lenz en el estudio del contacto mapudungun-español. Algunos ejemplos de la investigación actual

Abstract

In the present work, phonological, morphosyntactic and pragmatic phenomena are examined that allow us to sustain the persistence of the ideas of Rodolfo Lenz (1863-1938) in current contact linguistics. After years of some neglect or undervaluation in Hispanic linguistics, recent trends in contactology allow us to appreciate a visionary Lenz who, anticipating his time and against the current ideological climate in the Spanish-American environment, laid the foundations for the scientific study of Spanish in contact with Mapudungun and, more broadly, in contact with indigenous languages.
