'The best textbook on the market for an introduction to Hispanic linguistics. Among its multiple strengths are its flexibility in instructional approaches, material for different levels of students, and a whole range of very useful exercises to help students master the content.' Juan Martin, University of Toledo
'The third edition of this beloved textbook - which I have successfully used in my courses since its first edition - is a golden addition to the current market. Not only does it add a much needed chapter on Spanish acquisition, it also updates and enriches all the other chapters and exercises, making it the ideal textbook for teaching this subject.' Domnita Dumitrescu, California State University and Academia Norteamericana de la Lengua Española
'An excellent and easy approach to Hispanic linguistics. It also includes several chapters on the history of the Spanish language (from its origins to the presence of Spanish in the USA), and different linguistic variations in the Hispanic world. It's a great opportunity for our students majors both in Linguistics and/or in Spanish. Congratulations on the third edition! Bravo!' Pablo Pintado-Casas, Kean University
'A solid option for instructors looking for Spanish-language materials to teach undergraduate courses in Spanish linguistics. With chapters on all areas commonly taught in such courses, it could be used as the principal resource in a survey course, or paired with other texts in more specialized courses.' Laura Callahan, Santa Clara University
'Directo al grano es lo que describe la tercera edición de esta obra, que ahora incluye un capítulo dedicado a la enseñanza y adquisición de español como segunda lengua. Directo al grano porque no sobra nada, por la claridad de las explicaciones, por las actividades adecuadas que permiten a los estudiantes reflexionar y aplicar contenidos de lingüística y practicar español.' María Jesús Leal, Hamline University
'The third edition provides a comprehensive introduction to the study of linguistics and specifically the Spanish language, covering all the general areas of linguistics and the history of Spanish and its variations, with specific attention paid to Spanish and English contact in the United States. The chapter on language acquisition and teaching is a welcome addition to the previous edition. The many references to the more recent linguistic research greatly add to the value of this textbook.' Daniel J. Smith, Clemson University
'This volume accomplishes a very difficult feat: to successfully present a comprehensive introduction to complex linguistic topics in an accessible and engaging manner. The authors establish a dialogue with the reader, providing invaluable examples and practical exercises to ensure full understanding of the content. Without a doubt, a must-have for teachers and students interested in the field of Hispanic linguistics.' Silvia Perez-Cortes, Rutgers University
'This textbook provides an excellent introduction to the field of Hispanic linguistics. It covers a wide range of topics in formal and applied areas, with in-depth theoretical discussion and numerous examples found across the Spanish-speaking world. From introductory to more advanced discussion and exercises, it will challenge students to think deeper about linguistics while giving them the confidence to tackle linguistic analysis in Spanish.' Lara Reglero, Florida State University
'This third edition of the book Introducción a la lingüística hispánica consolidates its position as the most comprehensive introductory text to Hispanic Linguistics on the market today … its detailed content, well-organized structure, and a robust battery of exercises make it an excellent entry into the field.' Marina Bonilla Conejo, LINGUIST List
'… this useful and voluminous work can serve as the main text around which a course is organized or … the supplementary text of a more specialized course. Not many textbooks can make it to their twentieth anniversary in such excellent health. Besides that it is clear that the multiple revisions as well as the inclusion of new chapters augur many years ahead.' Miguel Novella, Hispania
