After a brief overview on the frequency of these forms and their alleged regular equivalents in Spanish corpora, a closer look is taken on the speakers' internal and external aspects of linguistic (in)security. Finally, it is shown by an acceptability test that there are forms on -{\´e}rrim*, which are not exclusively restricted to the norma culta in Spanish.}, language = {de} }
