<p>"Written in an easy-to-read style, the eight chapters of <i>Introducción a la lingüística hispánica actual: teoría y práctica</i> give a comprehensive, well-organized and up-to-date view of all areas of Hispanic linguistics, including the less traditional field of first and second language acquisition. The authors address theoretical and practical questions, illustrating the discussion with situations that reflect the everyday use of language. Each chapter includes activities, suggestions for research projects and further reading, a list of key terms and concepts, a specialized bibliography, and a wealth of figures and summary tables that enhance the text and stimulate a deeper study of the Spanish language. This is indeed a masterful introduction, an ideal textbook for courses in this field." -<strong> </strong>Professor Carmen Silva-Corvalán, <i>University of Southern California</i></p>
