Abstract

As Moreno de Alba (2003) considers about Mexican Spanish, there is an influence lexicon verified by the continuous adaptation and incorporation of anglicisms, even sometimes showing a preference for the Anglo-Saxon term e.g. doping when there is a term Castilian getting high. In addition, in the variety of Mexico constructions have been found grammatical that could be an influence of English grammatical times, such as the peripheral construction I am writing to you instead of I am writing to you, phenomenon also found in Spanish in contact in the southwest region of the United States (Silva-Corvalán, 1994)
