Más apologias
because I have not been tending this blog for some time - in fact, I thought I had an idea baout what I wanted to esearch here, but I feel that I have not fully defined the terms. I was thinking about studying the effect that English has had on Spanish, with Spanglish being the Spanish terms being used in English. However, since I am not immersed in the Spanish language, nor in any culture in which the Spanish language is dominant, I cannot fully determine what effect that English has on Spanish. I'm sure it's to a greater or lesser degree depending on the American influence in those cultures. For example, I'm certain that Chicano Spanish is primarily ingléspañol, with Mexican Spanish showing a greater influence, and español centroaméicano having more of an English influence than South American Spanish.However, it would be fascinating for me actually to live in each of these countries for a time in order to test my theories. But as it is, I'm stuck here in Iceland, warming my toes by a fissure sticking out of the ground, spending my days jumping back and forth across a ten foot gorge, yelling "North America!" and "Europe" with each continent I land on.
So, if there's anybody out there who would like to augment my research with comments of their own, feel free!
