Abstract

In this paper we present a description of sociolinguistic variables linked to the repertoire and the use of speech in a community in the northeast of Misiones (Argentina), whose situation of proximity to Brazil determines stabe modes of Portuguese-Spanish bilingualism. Elements related to the use and distribution of the pluridialectal and bilingual repertoire are presented, as well as an interpretative model based on observed facts of linguistic accommodation, exposing on the one hand possible social meanings associated with the uses of the varieties, and on the other hand the functional extension of these varieties in the border community
