"This authoritative textbook represents a fresh approach to introducing students to the field of Hispanic linguistics.

The textbook features many ... Read moreactivities that encourage students to reflect inductively on linguistic issues and problems, and references various interactive websites and other sources to supplement and enrich the material.

The book also suggests areas for further research, lending itself to advanced undergraduate and graduate levels of instruction. Teachers, students and researchers of Hispanic linguistics will find an outstanding trove of well-researched information that promises to transform the way this material is taught." - Professor Dale A. Koike, University of Texas at Austin "Written in an easy-to-read style, the eight chapters of Introducción a la lingüística hispánica actual: teoría y práctica give a comprehensive, well-organized and up-to-date view of all areas of Hispanic linguistics, including the less traditional field of first and second language acquisition. The authors address theoretical and practical questions, illustrating the discussion with situations that reflect the everyday use of language. Each chapter includes activities, suggestions for research projects and further reading, a list of key terms and concepts, a specialized bibliography, and a wealth of figures and summary tables that enhance the text and stimulate a deeper study of the Spanish language. This is indeed a masterful introduction, an ideal textbook for courses in this field." - Professor Carmen Silva-Corvalán, "Si imagináramos esta Introducción como una gran casa, descubriríamos en ella múltiples puertas por las que acceder a un universo lingüístico amplio y variado. Los autores son generosos anfitriones que ofrecen al lector recursos para familiarizarse con las formas, las funciones y los usos de la lengua. Este volumen es una introducción a la lingüística a través del español; una obra completa, concisa, actualizada y bien dispuesta para la enseñanza, cuya claridad y versatilidad animan tanto a la lectura continua, como a la curiosa consulta." -Professor Francisco Moreno-Fernández, Universidad de Alcalá and Instituto Cervantes at Harvard University "Cualquier texto de introducción a una lingüística específica supone siempre un difícil equilibrio entre lo general y lo particular cuya resolución exige encontrar un discurso expositivo claro, construir progresivamente los contenidos, asegurarse de que los avances teóricos en la disciplina y en el conocimiento de la lengua objeto de estudio estén debidamente reflejados y, por último, organizar tanto la exposición como los ejercicios, tareas y proyectos de modo atractivo y útil para estudiantes y profesores. Todos esos objetivos han sido alcanzados en esta Introducción a la lingüística hispánica. Se consigue en ella, partiendo de cero, una visión panorámica de los grandes temas de la lingüística hispánica no solo, como se hace habitualmente, en los terrenos fónico, gramatical y léxico, sino también en temas como la evolución y variación de la lengua o su aprendizaje y enseñanza. Será sin duda de gran utilidad a quienes la utilicen para comenzar o continuar sus estudios universitarios en lingüística hispánica." - Professor Guillermo Rojo, Universidad de Santiago de Compostela and Real Academia Española Show Less
