Abstract
This paper provides an analysis of El habla de Los Silos, one of the first complete descriptions of the variety of Spanish spoken in the Canary Islands. The author carried out a detailed study of phonetics and phonology, grammar, the influence of Portuguese and of lexical and semantic issues in accordance with established frameworks for dialectological studies of Spanish. Like other studies of Spanish dialects carried out in the second half of the twentieth century, El habla de Los Silos was concerned with rural and semirural speech.
