LUJAN VILLA, Juan David. THE KIKONGO AND ITS CONTINUUM IN AFRO-HISPANIC AMERICA; ETYMOLOGICAL POSSIBILITIES FOR ITS STUDY. Linguist.lit. [online]. 2019, n.75, pp.94-120. ISSN 0120-5587.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.lyl.n75a05.

This work addresses the problem of African Kikongo language and its influence on Afro-Hispanic speech. For this work, a sociohistorical introduction is made about the role of Kikongo in the slave context of the former Kingdom of the Congo, establishing the relationship between this set of dialects and Afro-Antillean speech, a comparative study is made between some lexical reduplications and examine the presumed sub-Saharan substratum in Bozal speech from different lexical corpus. We conclude the finding of a morphological parallelism in the reduplications of Bozal speech and Kikongo as a supposed Africanizing contribution to Afro-Hispanic languages.

Palavras-chave : Kikongo; Afro-Hispanic American speech; Enslaved; Reduplications; Bozal speech.
