"Introduccion a la historia de la lengua espanola" is a
comprehensive introduction to the internal and external history of
the Spanish language from its Indo-European ancestry to the
present-day language of over 400 million people. The authors
examine the phonological, morphological, syntactic, semantic, and
lexical changes that characterize the evolution of Spanish from its
Latin origins. But Spanish has not evolved in isolation in its
spread across Spain and to Africa, the Americas, Asia, and islands
of the Pacific Ocean. The foreign, sociological, and political
influences that contribute to the uniqueness, diversity, and unity
of a world language are essential aspects of the study of its
history. The focus of this book is modern Spanish. The authors
address such fundamental questions as: Where does Spanish come
from? How did it become the language we know today? How is it
related genetically and culturally to other Romance and non-Romance
languages? And what are the effects of bilingualism in areas where
Spanish coexists with other languages? "Introduccion a la historia
de la lengua espanola" includes numerous exercises, a section of
study questions at the end of each chapter, and an extensive
bibliography. The second edition is updated and greatly expanded in
scope and depth, yet it carefully maintains the structure and
pedagogical approach of the first edition for use with students who
have no prior background in linguistics. In advanced and
graduate-level courses, the syllabus can incorporate additional
assignments and sections, including the optional "Temas y datos
adicionales" that accompany each chapter.
