Spanish in New York: Language Contact, Dialectal Leveling, and Structural Continuity - Oxford Studies in Sociolinguistics
Otheguy, Ricardo (Professor of Linguistics, Professor of Linguistics, CUNY Graduate Center)
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.
