Focusing on the syntactic features of Afro-Bolivian Spanish, this study by Sandro Sessarego explores the unique determiner phrases that distinguish this Afro-Hispanic dialect from standard Spanish. It highlights the grammatical constructions that, while deemed ungrammatical in standard usage, are foundational to the effective syntactic systems of Afro-Bolivian Spanish. This examination of contact varieties is significant for advancing theories of syntactic microvariation, showcasing the rich linguistic diversity within Latin America.

Using a cohesive approach that combines linguistics, legal history and colonial studies, this study advances our knowledge of creolistics. Focusing primarily on Afro-Hispanic varieties, it will be of interest to scholars and advanced students in language contact, historical linguistics, language variation and change, and Latin American studies.
