This article analyses the historical and demographical circumstances of the population of Hispanic origin in the United States, this population’s use of Spanish, English, and also hybrid linguistic forms, as well as the literary reflection of mixed identities. We assert that, in this unstable situation, the conjunction of Spanish and English, resulting in infinite manifestations, is the channel for the emergence of aspects of identity and of means of expression which are applauded by some and combated by most, but which, irrespective of those reactions, are the unavoidable consequence of this linguistic and cultural contact Se analizan las circunstancias históricas y demográficas que se relacionan con la población de origen hispanohablante de los Estados Unidos, su uso del español, del inglés y de formas lingüísticas híbridas, así como el reflejo literario de identidades mixtas. Se argumenta que, en esta situación inestable, la conjunción del español y del inglés, con infinitas manifestaciones, canaliza la emergencia de facetas de identidad y de cauces de expresión aplaudidos por unos y combatidos por los más que, no obstante, son producto ineluctable del contacto de lenguas y de culturas.Downloads
