摘要：Unlike contact between Spanish and other languages such as Catalan, contact between Galician and Spanish, two closely related Ibero-Romance languages, has hardly been studied at all. Studies of contact between Galician and American Spanish are rarer still. While contact between Spanish and immigrant languages such as Italian, French, German or even Danish in the Rio de la Plata area and Argentina in particular has been the topic of numerous studies, Spanish-Galician contact is generally ignored. The main focus of the present article is the curious fact that the Galician language has never attracted the attention of Argentinian linguists and scholars in Hispanic Linguistics, not even in the area within the latter dedicated specifically to Argentina's national language. This fact seems to be related to general cultural prejudice against Galicians in the Rio de la Plata area. Examples are presented of the influence of Galician on Argentinian Spanish. The article is based on a detailed study of the existing linguistic literature and a number of recent empirical studies in the framework of a research project on language contact among Ibero-Romance Languages in the Department for Applied Linguistics and Translation Studies at Leipzig University.
