    Subject: Media: NYT: Spanish nominal pronouns


    There is an article in the December 5, 2002 online edition of the New York Times on the use of nominal pronouns in the various varieties of Spanish spoken in New York City, entitled "In Simple Pronouns, Clues to Shifting Latino Identity", by Janny Scott. A sample paragraph:

    "It's interesting to compare Puerto Ricans, Dominicans and Cubans with the Mexicans, who use few pronouns," he said. "And communities are different in their exposure to English. The Mexican community in New York is new; the Puerto Rican community is well settled."
