An introductory chapter examines the goals and methods of linguistics, followed by chapters on Spanish phonetics and phonology, Spanish morphology and Spanish syntax. The history of the Spanish language and linguistic variation in the Spanish-speaking world are also explored. With clear and accessible exercises accompanying each chapter, this text should provide students with a solid foundation for pursuing further study in Spanish or general linguistics.

Introducción a la Lingüistica Hispánica

Catherine E. Travis

Written entirely in Spanish, this is the ideal introduction to Spanish linguistics for students. Using clear explanations, it covers all the basic concepts required to study the structural aspects of the Spanish language - phonetics and phonology, morphology and syntax - as well as the history of Spanish, its dialects and linguistic variation. This second edition incorporates new features designed to enhance its usefulness for classroom teaching: chapters have been added on the sociolinguistics of Spanish in the USA, and on semantics and pragmatics. The chapter on syntax has been considerably expanded. Numerous exercises have been added throughout the book, as well as a new glossary to help with technical terms.
