AB In spite of the controversy regarding its grammaticality and acceptance in literature, code-switching is a widespread phenomenon that consists in the alternation of languages. The context generated at the English Studies degree (University of Valladolid), causes an interaction between English and Spanish that allows for the occurrence of Spanglish. This study aims at proving the hypothesis that people with a high level of language proficiency is inclined to consider the use of Spanglish as grammatical and acceptable. To this end, English Studies-enrolled undergraduates have performed a test that included fragments of Chicano literature written in Spanglish (Susana Chávez-Silverman‟s Killer Crónicas: Bilingual Memories), whose results, concerning its grammaticality and literariness, confirm the initial hypothesis.
