Abstract
While study on the interaction of modern Spanish and French is limited in comparison to, say, the interest in studies about Spanish-English contact, this paucity becomes much more obvious when focusing on earlier times. We are unaware of the existence of research papers like this one, which examines the Latin American Spanish in a 19thcentury corpus of manuscript letters written by a French man to his Chilean wife during the Californian Gold Rush. The various French transferences are highlighted in this study in three linguistic levels: graphophonetic, morphosyntactic, and lexical.
