Espa#x000F1;ol y portugu#x000E9;s en contacto: Pr#x000E9;stamos l#x000E9;xicos e interferencias

The present study aims at offering an overview of Spanish-Portuguese (and Spanish-Galician-Portuguese) language contact, both in Europe and in America. It pays a special attention to the history of linguistic interferences in each region, examining how and when lexical borrowings entered the Spanish language and how they disseminated across the Spanish-speaking world.
