In this presentation, the speakers offered an overview of research objectives and outcomes from a collaborative Michigan Humanities project entitled “From Africa to Patagonia: Voices of Displacement”, carried out by an interdisciplinary and inter-generational research team investigating a unique linguistic and cultural contact situation between Spanish and Afrikaans in Patagonia, Argentina. Although the members of the bilingual community in Patagonia are Afrikaans-L1, they have been L2-Spanish dominant for most of their lives (40-50 years), and represent the last remaining Afrikaans-Spanish bilingual speakers in Patagonia.
