Too close for comfort? : the genesis of "portuñol/portunhol." The term has traditionally been applied to stable bilingual configurations in border communities, e.g., in Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil, and Portugal; also refers to when speakers of one of the two highly cognate languages attempt to speak the other language, but are unable to suppress interference from the native language; the form spoken on the border between Brazil and Uruguay, known as "fronterizo" or "dialectos portugueses del Uruguay," is referred to by its speakers as "portuñol"; has an emergent literature in published form and increasingly on the Internet; attitudes and spontaneous production of portuñol/portunhol specimens represent a unique sociolinguistic situation that straddles the language-dialect boundary [but the paper refers to fronterizo dialects, portuñol dialects, border dialects, and contact dialects])
