Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
This thesis examines the behavior of clitic doubling in Nariñense, a little-studied Andean Spanish variety spoken in the southwest of Colombia, and compares it to well-studied varieties such as standard Peninsular, Rioplatense, and other Andean Spanish varieties.

The present project was started in an effort to analyze and observer the reactions of a group of learners when exposed, in …
