Hispanic sociolinguistics. They include studies on language
variation and change, contact varieties, language use, perception,
and attitudes and focus on language varieties such as Peruvian
Spanish, Mexican Spanish on the U.S. - Mexican border and in the
Midwest, and two Peninsular varieties (in the Basque country and in
Catalonia). This book is a Festschrift in honor of Anna Maria
Escobar and her twenty-five years at the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign.

proficiency as well as how Spanish and English intersect with the

Gramatica espanola: Variacion social introduces intermediate to
advanced students of Spanish to the main grammatical features of
the language in a way that emphasizes the social underpinnings of
language. Written entirely in Spanish, this unique approach to the
study of grammar guides students in an examination of how Spanish
grammar varies depending on place, social group, and situation.
Students examine why some varieties of Spanish are considered
prestigious while others are not, drawing on current and historical
sociopolitical contexts, all while learning grammatical terminology
and how to identify categories and constructions in Spanish. This
is an excellent resource for students at level B1 or higher on the
Common European Framework for Languages, and Intermediate High to
Advanced High on the ACTFL proficiency scale.

Spanish in Chicago is the first book-length study of Spanish in
Chicago, where populations originating in both Mexico and Puerto
Rico have lived in contact for generations and Latinos now comprise
nearly a third of the population. Identifying Chicago as a rich
site for examining language and dialect contact at both community
and family levels, Kim Potowski and Lourdes Torres describe the
spoken Spanish of Chicago, analyzing patterns of language change
and identity constructions and establishing their likely causes.
Drawing on interviews with 124 individuals across three generations
of Mexican, Puerto Rican, and MexiRican Chicagoans, Potowski and
Torres trace the effects of language and dialect contact through
close sociolinguistic analysis of lexicon, discourse markers,
codeswitching, the subjunctive, and phonology. Their analysis
uniquely examines these features across three generations of
speakers and two different regional origins within the same corpus.
By including MexiRicans as a category, the book not only assesses
the dynamics of linguistic convergence, dialect leveling,
accommodation, and language loss, but also the concept of
intrafamiliar dialect contact pioneered by Potowski.
Contextualizing these language changes within the history of Latino
communities in Chicago, Spanish in Chicago provides a nuanced
picture of a minority language in a major US city and a vital
contribution to sociolinguistics and Latino studies.

What are the most widely spoken non-English languages in the USA?
How did they reach the USA? Who speaks them, to whom, and for what
purposes? What changes do these languages undergo as they come into
contact with English? This book investigates the linguistic
diversity of the USA by profiling the twelve most commonly used
languages other than English. Each chapter paints a portrait of the
history, current demographics, community characteristics, economic
status, and language maintenance of each language group, and looks
ahead to the future of each language. The book challenges myths
about the 'official' language of the USA, explores the degree to
which today's immigrants are learning English and assimilating into
the mainstream, and discusses the relationship between linguistic
diversity and national unity. Written in a coherent and structured
style, Language Diversity in the USA is essential reading for
advanced students and researchers in sociolinguistics,
bilingualism, and education.
