Abstract:

This book introduces readers to basic concepts of sociolinguistics with a
focus on Spanish in the US. The coverage goes beyond linguistics to examine
the history and politics of Spanish in the US, the relationship of language to
Latinx identities, and how language ideologies and policies reflect and shape
societal views of Spanish and its speakers. Accessible to those with no
linguistic background, this book provides students with a foundation in the
study of language and society, and the opportunity to relate theoretical
concepts to Spanish in the US in a range of contexts, including everyday
speech, contemporary culture, media, education and policy. The book is a
substantially revised and expanded 2nd edition of Spanish Speakers in the USA,
including new chapters on the history of Spanish in the US, the demographics
of Spanish in the US, and language policy; and expanded chapters on language
ideologies, race, identity, media, and education.
