New Perspectives on Hispanic Contact Linguistics in the Americas

Sandro Sessarego, Melvin González-Rivera (editores).

This volume is an edited collection of articles dealing with Hispanic contact linguistics in the Americas. The project is composed of four main sections, organized according to the type of socio-historical scenario that characterizes the nature of the contact situation: Spanish in contact with indigenous languages; Spanish in contact with coerced-migration languages; Spanish in contact with free-migration languages; and Spanish in contact with languages outside of Latin America, but still within the Americas.

Sandro Sessarego is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Texas at Austin. He works primarily in the fields of contact linguistics, sociolinguistics and syntax.

Melvin González-Rivera is an Associate Professor of Linguistics in the Department of Hispanic Studies at the University of Puerto Rico-Mayagüez. He specializes in syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and their interface in grammar, with an emphasis on Caribbean Spanish.
