Abstract:

This volume compares the evolution and current status of two of the world's
major languages, English and Spanish. Parallel chapters trace the emergence of
Global English and Spanish and their current status, covering aspects such as
language and dialect contact, language typology, norm development in
pluricentric languages, and identity construction. Case studies look into the
use of English and Spanish on the internet, investigate mixed and alternating
lects, as well as ongoing change in Spanish-speaking minorities in the US. The
volume thus contributes to current theoretical debates and provides fresh
empirical data. While offering an in-depth treatment of the evolution of
English and Spanish to the reader, this book introduces the driving factors
and the effects of the emergence of world languages in general and is relevant
for researchers and students of sociolinguistics, historical linguistics, and
typology alike.
