Written in Spanish, this introduction to Spanish linguistics covers
the structure, history and dialects of the Spanish language. It is
designed primarily as a textbook for students pursuing advanced
studies in Spanish language and literature at North American
institutions, either at the advanced undergraduate or at the beginning
graduate level. Nevertheless, this book will also be useful to
students in other instructional settings. Clear and accessible with
exercises accompanying each chapter, the text will provide students
with a solid foundation for pursuing further study in Spanish or
general linguistics.
