Abstract:

This book is a collection of original studies analyzing how different internal
and external factors affect Spanish language variation and evolution across a
number of (socio)linguistic scenarios. Its primary goal is to expand our
understanding of how native and non-native varieties of Spanish co-exist with
other languages and dialects under the influence of several linguistic and
extra-linguistic forces. While some papers analyze the linguistic dynamics
affecting Spanish grammars from a cross-dialectal perspective, others focus
more closely on the relations established between Spanish and other languages
with which it is in contact. In particular, some of these studies show how
power and prestige may support (or not) the use of Spanish in different social
contexts and educational realities, given that the attitudes toward this
language vary greatly across the Spanish-speaking world. On the one hand, in
some regions, Spanish represents the variety spoken by the majority of the
population, typically related to prestige and power (Spain and Latin America).
On the other hand, in other contexts, the same language is conceived as a
minority variety, which may or may not be associated with stigmatized
immigrant groups (i.e., in the US).
