The Spanish Language Today
‘The
Spanish Language Today
is a lively and valuable addition to the bookshelf of
students and teachers in Spanish studies. It is quite unprecedented in the topics it
covers and in the authenticity of the materials on which it draws. This book is
highly accessible and useful.’
Professor Ralph Penny
Queen Mary and Westfield College, University of London
The Spanish Language Today
describes the varied and changing Spanish language
in the world today.
As conflicting forces work towards the unification and fragmentation of both
Peninsular and Latin American Spanish, this book examines:
•
where
Spanish is spoken on a global scale, from its decline in the Philippines
to its vitality in the southern states of the US
• the
status
of Spanish within the realms of politics, education and media,
including reference to the English-only movement in the US
• the
standardization
of Spanish
• specific areas of
linguistic variation and change
including: phonetics and
phonology, orthography, lexis, and morphosyntax
• the effects of
language contact
on Spanish which is spoken widely in contexts
of bi- and multilingualism
• the
linguistic and pragmatic factors
which underlie variation and change
• whether
new technologies
are an opportunity or a threat to the Spanish
language
The Spanish Language Today
contains numerous extracts from contemporary texts,
a glossary of technical linguistic terms and selected translations. It is suitable for
those engaged with the modern Spanish language, from beginning students with
no prior linguistic knowledge to researchers.
