Abstract
These pages present, in summary form, the features that typify a linguistic modality that, situated halfway between the Spanish of Spain and that of the Americas, has its own well-defined personality within the broad range of geographical variation that is Spanish. These pages also show the confrontation that occurs between forms of various origins — traditional and innovative — within the limited space of the islands, where we find an array of solutions resulting from the different impact of the various social determinants.
