What follows is another discussion note contributed to our Book Discussion Forum. Twenty-three of the articles are written in English and six in Spanish. The book is divided into eight sections by topic, and each section contains three to six articles.
Articles cover a wide range of issues, from phonological variation to language ideology.
Part Two, Bilingualism and Interpreting, features three articles. The other two articles concern court interpretation. Virginia Benmaman reports on violations of due process caused by the incompetence or absence of court interpreters. Garland D. Bills and Neddy Vigil study nahuatlisms in New Mexican Spanish. Part Four, Borrowings, showcases opposing perspectives on the subject of English lexical influence on Spanish.
