| Abstract: | Spanglish is a mixture of English and Spanish that occurs as a language contact phenomenon in the speech of the Hispanic population of the United States of America, the population of Mexico living near the northern border, and also of the populations of other Central American countries. Hispanics make up the largest minority group in the USA; there were almost 47 million in 2008 (U.S. Census Bureau), 15% of the nation's total population. Most live in the southern part of the USA, but many live in bigger cities like New York and Washington. This paper deals with the question of what kind of linguistic phenomenon Spanglish is. Is it a language, Creole, pidgin or another linguistic form? It is obvious that English and Spanish are in contact, and thus they form a mixture. Spanish is influenced by English and English is mixed with Spanish. There are no formal rules on how they mix; thus it is difficult for linguists to define what Spanglish actually is. Different linguists describe it differently. This paper deals with linguistic features that describe Spanglish. |
