Patterns of isoglosses in the Spanish language of Chile

Abstract

Taking information from the Atlas lingüístico y etnográfico de Chile by regions, ALECh, we intend to determine the patterns of isoglosses that would allow to establish dialect areas in the Spanish language of Chile, and to relate them to the linguistic borders proposed as hypotheses to determine four “regions” or dialect zones in the Spanish of Chile, identifying in passing radiating centers and probable causes of the registered innovations.
