Description
What is Spanglish? Does it have a history? Who speaks it today? Is there only one form of Spanglish or are there many? And is it a verbal phenomenon limited only to los Unaited Esteits? What is the reaction of the academy and political establishment to its widespread popularity? Stavans has devoted... Expand almost a decade to classifying and studying the linguistic phenomenon. In this groundbreaking volume, he answers these and other questions in the sizzling, provocative style that has become his trademark. He offers us a groundbreaking lexicon of thousands of Spanglish terms, their etymology, and usage across the country. And he includes a controversial translation into Spanglish of the first chapter of Don Quixote de la Mancha.At once entertaining and prophetic, Spanglish is proof that America is spelled with an accent.Collapse
