Book Reviews of The Spanish-Speaking World: A Practical Introduction to Sociolinguistic Issues (Routledge Language in Society)
Book Review: Mar-Molinero's Book
Summary: 4 Stars
This book was used for a graduate course in Spanish Sociolinguistics and it was a good book. She brings up some very interesting points and it's easy to read and comprehend. It is a good start for discussing these issues. The only downfall to this book is it's very Eurocentric and there is not enough focus on ALL Spanish-speaking countries.
Summary of The Spanish-Speaking World: A Practical Introduction to Sociolinguistic Issues (Routledge Language in Society)
The Spanish Speaking World explores a wide range of sociolinguistic issues relating to the Spanish language and its role in societies around the world.Clare Mar-Molinero begins with a discussion of the position of Spanish as a world language, giving an historical account of its development and dominance. She continues with an examination of social and regional variation in Spanish, and investigates dialects, language attitudes, and style and register, particularly in the media. She also questions the relationship between gender and language. The book ends with a focus on current issues, particularly those arising from language policies and legislation, especially in the education system. Written for readers with a practical knowledge of Spanish, the book is informative and practical, encouraging readers to think for themselves.
