Introduction to Spanish/English Linguistics

About the Book

This textbook is for three groups of people involved with Spanish: first, for the students enrolled in Spanish/English linguistics courses; second, for college and university librarians; and third, for every Spanish language teacher/professor. We suggest that those who have courses of this type consider this book as a text for those classes. For those that do not have them, we recommend that you offer them and use this book. We also believe that it would also be an ideal book for libraries in which people interested in the topic can go to find out information, since there are no available texts as comprehensive as this one. It is also a book that all Spanish teachers/professors should have on their desks and shelves for reference purposes, being that it contains a lot of information about linguistics and grammar.

About the Author

Professor Eldredge has taught beginning, intermediate, advanced, linguistics, literature, and folklore Spanish classes for about forty-five years. For his doctorate, he studied Spanish linguistics for his major, and literature and folklore classes for his minor. He has taught at many schools including UCLA, Universidad Iberoamericana, and University of Redlands. He has a great love for linguistics. Professor Mayea-Rodriguéz, a Cuban by birth, received his doctorate from UCR, and he currently teaches at the University of Redlands. He teaches advanced grammar and medieval literature Spanish courses. A few years ago, he became very fascinated with linguistics and began working with Professor Eldredge to write this textbook. He saw a great need for a book like this one.
