Abstract:
¿Por qué? 101 Questions about Spanish is for anyone who wants to understand
how Spanish really works. Standard textbooks and grammars describe the "what"
of Spanish - its vocabulary, grammar, spelling, and pronunciation - but ¿Por
qué? explains the "why".
Judy Hochberg draws on linguistic principles, Hispanic culture, and language
history to answer questions such as:
- Why are so many Spanish verbs irregular?
- Why does Spanish have different ways to say "you"?
- Why is h silent?
- Why doesn't Spanish use apostrophes?
- Why does Castilian Spanish have the th sound?
Packed with information, guidance, and links to further research, ¿Por qué? is
an accessible study guide that is suitable for Spanish students, instructors,
native speakers, and the general reader. It is a valuable supplementary text
for serious students of Spanish at all levels, from beginning to advanced.
¿Por qué? also covers topics usually left to specialized books, including the
evolution of Spanish, how children and adults learn Spanish, and the status of
languages that co-exist with Spanish, from Catalan to Spanish sign language to
the indigenous languages of Latin America.
