ANTIMIL CANIUPAN, Jaime  y  OLATE VINET, Aldo. THE CURRENT SCENARIO OF THE MAPUCHE LANGUAGE IN A TERRITORY. CASE STUDY FROM THE HISTORICAL AND SOCIOLINGUISTIC PROCESSES. Nueva rev. Pac. [online]. 2020, n.72, pp.116-143. ISSN 0716-6346.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0719-51762020000100116.

This paper describes the sociolinguistic relationship between Mapuzugun and Spanish in a rural bilingual community in the Araucania Region. The study explores the main communicative scenarios where the linguistic codes in contact are used, and it analyzes the current situation of the Mapuche language in the framework of the territorial-historical and colonialist reconfiguration processes. The main findings show that the mechanisms of colonization and sociopolitical dynamics established in the territory are important factors in the maintenance and vitality of Mapuzugun.

Palabras clave : linguistic interaction; language contact; civilizational spaces; territorial history; linguistic vitality.
