PERALTA CESPEDES, Manuel. The Pluralization of haber in the Spanish of the Dominicans in Madrid. Lexis [online]. 2020, vol.44, n.2, pp.575-617. ISSN 0254-9239.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18800/lexis.202002.006.

In this paper, we present a study about the process of convergency and divergency in the dialect contact. The pluralization of haber is very widespread in the Spanish of the Dominican Republic, but it is almost non-existent in Madrid. The analysis of these varieties is useful in order to observe and explain the process of international dialect contact. The importance of the study of non-variation within the linguistic of migration is point out. The results of the research highlight two main features: a) Madrilenian variety prestige does not influence some linguistic variables among Dominicans in Madrid; b) the perception and frequency of the variable impacts the process of convergence and divergence of the speakers.

Palabras clave : dialect contact; pluralization of haber; Madrilenian Spanish; Dominican Spanish.
