"El espanol en contacto con otras lenguas" is the first
comprehensive historical, social, and linguistic overview of
Spanish in contact with other languages in all of its major
contexts - in Spain, the United States, and Latin America. In this
significant contribution to the field of Hispanic linguistics,
Carol A. Klee and Andrew Lynch explore the historical and social
factors that have shaped contact varieties of the Spanish language,
synthesizing the principle arguments and theories about language
contact, and examining linguistic changes in Spanish phonology,
morphology and syntax, and pragmatics. Individual chapters analyze
particular contact situations: in Spain, contact with Basque,
Catalan, Valencian, and Galician; in Mexico, Central, and South
America, contact with Nahuatl, Maya, Quechua, Aimara, and Guarani;
in the Southern Cone, contact with other principle European
languages such as Portuguese, Italian, English, German, and Danish;
and, in the United States, contact with English. A separate chapter
explores issues of creolization in the Philippines and the Americas
and highlights the historical influence of African languages on
Spanish, primarily in the Caribbean and Equatorial Guinea. Written
in Spanish, this detailed synthesis of wide-ranging research will
be a valuable resource for scholars of Hispanic linguistics,
language contact, and sociolinguistics.
