Abstract
The article addresses the issue regarding the nature of bilingualism in Paraguay, where the Métis population speaks Guarani and Castilian. The expansion of Spanish is not related to the displacement of Guarani, but to the expansion of communication needs of the population, brought by the new lifestyle.
