Reviews
This book makes a useful contribution to current research in the field of applied linguistics. The volume is well-structured and clearly written. The author uses up-to-date literature and includes recent data. The analyses carried out are correct and the results give satisfactory answers to the research questions proposed in the chapters. Lujan-Garcia's work is also valuable for her critical comments and strong claims about the role of English and English language teaching in the present era of globalisation. This text should be of interest to researchers working in this discipline, students of applied linguistic courses and teachers of English at all educational levels as well as to anyone interested in the impact of English and Anglo-American culture on Spanish language and society. - Eliecer Crespo-Fernandez, RESLA 26 (2013), 505-509. This is a thought-provoking publication. It opens up a whole new line of research in Spanish academia that has the potential to eventually become a major study area. Th e book may inspire many a new researcher, as it points towards interesting avenues for investigation in the sociolinguistics of English in Spain. - Eva Codo Olsina, ATLANTIS: Journal of the Spanish Association of Anglo-American Studies, 32:5 (December 2013), 233-237. The book is a stimulating preliminary study which gives an idea of the impact of English in Spain, and the different analyses constitute an interesting point of departure on different levels. - Cristina Suarez-Gomez, English World Wide 35:1 (2014), 95-98.
