The Spanish Language Today

"This is an impressive volume because Stuart manages to assemble in a very concise and understandable format, a diverse body of contemporary socio-linguistic processes, data, and trends in the Spanish language. It is truly an indispensable reference and it would be an ideal textbook for the advanced Spanish curriculum."
-Language Problems and Language Planning "The book's main strength is the breadth of the topics covered, a range consdierably wider than found in other books on Spanish language usage and variation."
-Language in Society ..."a lively and valuable addition to the bookshelf of students and teachers in Spanish studies. It is quite unprecedented in the topics it covers and in the authenticity of the materials on which it draws. This book is highly accessible and useful."
-Ralph Penny, University of London
