Brittany Hause, a DPhil candidate in Linguistics, gives their rundown of an early twentieth-century ballad "Amor de un campestre" by Bolivian writer Pedro Rivas. Brittany will explain how the use of regionally specific vocabulary that characterises the piece illustrates several of the effects of language contact, which continue to distinguish the variety of Spanish spoken in Santa Cruz from other varieties heard today in Bolivia and around the world.
