The theoretical basis of this work goes through the concepts of the main linguistic phenomena that can occur during language contact and also the specificities of the contact situations of the Brazil-Venezuela border, considering that this region has always been geographically closer to both border cities than specifically. of the great centers of their nations. The results show that some linguistic phenomena have always been present during this contact between Venezuelans and Brazilians and that other phenomena are in full development and occurrence being influenced and / or exacerbated by the ecology of the region, perceived by the concept of Ecolinguistics.
