%X The aim of this study is to analyse an unusual type of interlinguistic transfer: the dating system. This transfer was found in a corpus made of several newspapers written by Spanish speakers (Mexicans, Spaniards and Cubans) during the second half of the 19th century in different places in the United States (California, New Mexico, Texas and New York). The results obtained will contribute to understanding how contact between English and Spanish took place in those territories. Likewise, the exposition of this particular phenomenon also shows how the existing dichotomy between the maintenance of the Hispanic identity and the American assimilation by matters of prestige materializes into a cultural convention such as the dating system.
