Abstract:

This is a university textbook that looks at virtually all aspects of theSpanish language: the sound system, inflectional and derivationalmorphology, syntax, the language's history from spoken Latin to the presentday, varieties of Spanish throughout the world, sociolinguistic variation,Spanish bilingualism and creole Spanish. Each chapter contains detailedlinguistic analysis, together with numerous illustrations, and is followedby exercises or a list of seminar/essay topics. Few if any existing volumescontain such a variety of information about Spanish.

The first part of the book covers the 'core' areas of linguistics -phonology, morphology and syntax - and the focus here is on CastilianSpanish. In the second part the scope is broadened to include Spanish asspoken in the rest of the Peninsula, the Canary Islands, Latin America, theUSA and the Philippines. The final chapter contains, among other things,descriptions of the Spanish-based creoles Palenquero and Chabacano.

The book is designed to appeal both to linguists and students of Spanish.Thus the approach is descriptive rather than theoretical. Ideally, the bookshould enable its readers to place their practical knowledge of Spanishwithin a broader, more scientific framework, although it will also be ofinterest to those who are unfamiliar with Spanish.
