Abstract

This paper deals with the origin of the theory of español costeño and español andino, focusing on yeísmo and lleísmo, on the basis of which the theory was developed at the turn of the 19th century. I argue that the early conception of español costeño and español andino has strongly influenced the kind of research we have been conducting about the geographic varieties to this day. The aim of this study therefore, is to sharpen our understanding of the former zeitgeist of research and to stimulate further ‘big data’-based studies on español costeño, español andino and español amazónico, the third Peruvian geographic variety, traditionally neglected by linguistic research.
