Abstract

This paper on Second Language Acquisition analyzes the case of quedar(se), a pseudo-copular verb typical of the interlanguage system of Brazilians nonnative speakers of Spanish. It combines syntactic and semantic properties from its corresponding element in Brazilian Portuguese, the speakers L1, and phonological features from the Spanish supposed counterpart. This element maintains itself in interlanguage until its steady state and it is analyzed here as a case of relexification (Lefebvre, 1997), a universal process present in many language contact situations, among them, Second Language Acquisition.
