In this paper, we examine the grammatical status of  el que  in Spanish prepositional relative clauses (el lugar  en el que  vivo) [the place where I live] from a variationist perspective of the theory of grammaticalization. At least from the nineteenth century onwards, several authors have defended the nature of  el que  as a compound relative pronoun, even if these forms continue alternating today with others without the article [el lugar  en que  vivo], in contrast to  el cual , a fully grammaticalized relative since the late fifteenth century.
