Ricardo Otheguy, Ana Celia Zentella

Spanish in New York

Language Contact, Dialectal Leveling, and Structural Continuity

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Spanish in New York is a groundbreaking sociolinguistic analysis of immigrant bilingualism in a U.S. setting. Drawing on one of the largest corpora of spoken Spanish ever assembled for a single city, Otheguy and Zentella demonstrate the extent to which the language of Latinos in New York City represents a continuation of structural variation as it is found in Latin America.
