Mapudungun-spanish contact: uses, transmission and valuations in pewenche del Alto Biobío communities. Lit. lingüíst. [online]. 2021, n.43, pp.467-488.

The article examines the circumstances of Mapudungun coming into contact with Spanish in Pewenche communities in the Alto Biobío. Specifically, the status of the language is described through the analysis of its use and intergenerational transmission, in addition to addressing the assessments that speakers express towards both languages. The sample consisted of the speech of ten bilingual speakers from two communities in the Queuco Valley. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews that allowed researchers to obtain sociolinguistic information from the speaker, their family and community. In general terms, it can be said that there is a fairly dissimilar maintenance of the language in the area that is evidenced in heterogeneous patterns of use and transmission. However, the appreciation of both languages is positive.
