Title: Linguistic advances in Central American Spanish / edited by Brandon Baird, Osmer Balam, M. Carmen Parafita Couto.
Description: Leiden ; Boston : Brill, 2023. | Series: Brill’s studies in language, cognition and culture, 1879-5412 ; volume 39 | Includes bibliographical references and index. | Summary: “Covering all seven countries on the isthmus, this volume presents the first collection of original linguistic studies on Central American Spanish varieties, which have long been neglected in Hispanic Linguistics. The analyses in this collection span across disciplines such as sociolinguistics, corpus linguistics, bilingualism, historical linguistics, and pragmatics. This volume bridges the gap between international and Central American scholars, as it highlights the work that has already been done by Central American scholars but is relatively unknown to scholars outside of the region. It also introduces readers to more recent work that sheds new light on Central American Spanish varieties, from both urban and rural settings as well as in bilingual communities where Spanish is in contact with indigenous languages”-- Provided by publisher.
