Estudio sociolinguistico de una variante sintactica el fenomeno "dequeismo" en el espanol canario (Sociolinguistic Study of a Syntactic Variant: The "Dequeismo" Phenomenon in Canary Islands Spanish).

Serrano, Maria Jose

Hispania, v81 n2 p392-405 May 1998

The dequeismo phenomenon is occurring more frequently in spoken Spanish in both Spain and in Latin America. Introduction of the preposition "de" before "que" in nominal complements exploits one recourse in Spanish, namely the deictic capacity of prepositional "de" as a marker or introducer of the speaker's expressions, opinions, or thoughts. This article focuses on this phenomenon in Canary Islands Spanish. (CNP)
