It is truly an indispensable reference and it would be an ideal textbook for the advanced Spanish curriculum. <br>-Language Problems and Language Planning <br> The book's main strength is the breadth of the topics covered, a range consdierably wider than found in other books on Spanish language usage and variation. <br>-Language in Society <br>... a lively and valuable addition to the bookshelf of students and teachers in Spanish studies.
