GARATEA GRAU, Carlos. Discursive Traditions in The History of American Spanish. Spread Contacts and Tasks. Lexis [online]. 2021, vol.45, n.2, pp.555-573. ISSN 0254-9239.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18800/lexis.202102.002.

The concept of discursive traditions today enjoys widespread consensus in the field of language history. This work offers some reasons and examples that justify its usefulness in the history of American Spanish and, in it, of the effects and expressions of contact with the indigenous languages of America. The purpose is simple: to appreciate the relevance of discursive traditions in the formation of American Spanish.

Keywords : Discursive discursive traditions; language history; colonial texts; Spanish language in the Americas; language contact.
