The development of Spanish of the Amazonian indigenous speakers in Lima school

Abstract

This paper aims to describe the agreement in the nominal phrase (FN) and verbal phrase (FV) in Spanish by bilingual pupils whose mother tongue is an Amazonian indigenous language and Spanish, their second language. These students attend schools in Lima, where the teaching is done in Spanish; therefore, we have considered it pertinent to undertake such a study, focusing our attention on written production, which is substantially linked to school academic development.
