The volume offers new and important insights into research on lexical borrowing. In particular, it presents empirical data obtained through quantitative analysis to answer the question of who is most likely to use English lexical borrowings while speaking Spanish, to address the impact that English has on Spanish as spoken in the city, and to identify the social factors that contribute to language change. The book also provides an empirical, corpus-based-approach to distinguishing between borrowing and other contact phenomena, such as code-switching, which will be of interest to scholars of language contact and bilingualism."--Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Spanish language -- New York (State) -- New York -- Foreign elements -- English English language -- New York (State) -- New York -- Influence on Spanish Spanish language -- New York (State) -- New York -- Influence on English Code switching (Linguistics) -- New York (State) -- New York Code switching (Linguistics) -- Social aspects -- New York (State) -- New York Spanish language -- Social aspects -- New York (State) -- New York Linguistic minorities -- New York (State) -- New York Bilingualism -- New York (State) -- New York POLITICAL SCIENCE -- Public Policy -- Cultural Policy.
