Varieties of Spanish in the United States (Georgetown Studies in Spanish Linguistics)

Great resource!

The book is great. I have a lot of information and it help me to do better all the research that was in need about other languages.Thank youRosa

Great condition. The book explains a variety of Spanish linguistics. Explains code-switching and why people flip flop between Spanish and English all the time.

I liked this book.It's weird how people study people though :P

This book is an excellent resource for any scholar interested in studying the Spanish of the United States. The author detailed explanations of each varieties, and discusses several examples (e.g. the Spanish of Lousiana) that are little known to either the general public or, indeed, many researchers.

The historical back ground from this book is bad, example: on page 195 the author states that Atrisco and settlements south of Albuquerque did not occur until the 1800's. This is news to all of us who have land grants the date back to 17th century. There are documents describing land disputes in the Santa Fe archives for various areas in and around Albuquerque that date back into the early 1700's. So if this author's history is bad then I can't say much for the reliability in the other subject matter in this book.

I found it very useful... I wrote an essay on Sociolinguistics for my graduation exam, and I think it's really valid, if you're a student, or you just simply want to know more about Spanish in the United States... I did enjoy it.
