México - Como México no hay dos

The present study aims at offering an overview of Spanish-Portuguese (and Spanish-Galician-Portuguese) language contact, both in Europe and in America. It pays a special attention to the history of linguistic interferences in each region, examining how and when lexical borrowings entered the Spanish language and how they disseminated across the Spanish-speaking world.

This innovative textbook fulfills the needs of upper-division Spanish students who are pursuing degrees in the health professions, plan to become medical interpreters or just want to improve their proficiency in the language. It provides multiple opportunities to learn vocabulary related to the medical field, reviews hard-to-understand grammatical concepts, describes health-related cultural competence and presents opportunities to discuss issues of concern about the health of Hispanic communities in the US and abroad.

Esta es una obra sobre variación y cambio fónico. Su horizonte, por tanto, tiene que ver con las manifestaciones generales y particulares del cambio lingüístico. Aunque su núcleo de desarrollo consiste en el análisis de diferentes datos concretos, pretende inscribirse en una determinada forma de ver la variación, buscar explicaciones a los hechos específicos y, en definitiva, contribuir al desarrollo de la teoría del cambio lingüístico.
