The aim of this paper is to give an account of the process of grammaticalization of the tonic personal pronoun usted used as the clitic -ste in the Spanish spoken in the Southern Part of the Amazonas Department (Peru). Based on the semantic, morphosyntactic and phonological analysis, this grammaticalization process has given rise to a clitic that provides the sense of ‘distanciation or correctness’ between the interlocutors of a discursive event. The main conclusions report that the clitic -ste, a product of the grammaticalization of the pronoun usted, characterizes a variety of North Peruvian Andean Spanish, also attested in the Andean provinces of La Libertad, some provinces of Cajamarca and Ancash, and in Lower Piura (Andrade, 2016, 2018, 2019).

Palabras clave : Peruvian Spanish; Andean-Coastal Spanish; grammaticalization; pronoun usted; clitic; suffix.
