The Spanish Lexicon of Baseball: Semantics, Style, and Terminology
draws on nearly 7,000 published MLB game summaries to explore the
contours of baseball terminology in Spanish. Organized in a logical
sequence that corresponds to various aspects of baseball (field of
play, player positions, getting on base, types and modes of hits,
scoring, runs-batted-in, umpire involvement and calls, pitching,
and defense), the work combines narrative style and illustrative
examples with keen lexical analysis. The result is an entertaining
and informative volume that is neither folksy nor linguistically
overcomplicated.
