Biculturalism and Spanish in Contact: Sociolinguistic Case Studies provides an original and modern analysis of the development of Spanish and its contact with other languages using a sociolinguistic framework from both synchronic and diachronic angles.

Split into three sections​, ​(i) Border speech communities​​, (ii) Outcomes and perceptions in situations of language and dialect contact and (iii) Contact and alternation: social boundaries of language switching, this collection offers new perspectives in the field of language contact and change. Each chapter presents an original study detailing the social factors that have shaped contact varieties of Spanish, providing principal arguments and theories about language use, contact, and change, as well as guided topics for discussion.

With its wide scope, this book is a landmark in language interaction processes and studies, and will be a valuable reference for educators, scholars, language professionals and students with an interest in the vitality of the Spanish language in contact with other languages.

Eva Núñez Méndez is professor of Spanish linguistics at Portland State University, where she has been part of the Dept. of World Languages and Literatures since 2002. Her research focuses primarily on linguistics (phonetics, syntax, and the history of the Spanish language) and on applied linguistics (language variation, text analysis, and translation). Her books include Diachronic applications of Hispanic linguistics (2016), Fundamentals of the history of the Spanish language (2012), Fundamentals of Spanish phonetics and phonology (2012, 2005), and Troilus and Cressida: a bilingual edition (2008).
