{"product_id":"bilingualism-in-the-spanish-speaking-world-jennifer-austin-9780521115537","title":"Bilingualism in the Spanish-Speaking World","description":"Bilingualism has given rise to significant changes in Spanish-speaking countries. In the US, the increasing importance of Spanish has engendered an English-only movement; in Peru, contact between Spanish and Quechua has brought about language change; and in Iberia, speakers of Basque, Galician and Catalan have made their languages a compulsory part of school curricula and local government. This book provides an introduction to bilingualism in the Spanish-speaking world, looking at topics such as language contact, bilingual societies, bilingualism in schools, code-switching, language transfer, the emergence of new varieties of Spanish, and language choice - and how all of these phenomena affect the linguistic and cognitive development of the speaker. Using examples and case studies drawn primarily from Spanish\/English bilinguals in the US, Spanish\/Quechua bilinguals in Peru and Spanish\/Basque bilinguals in Spain, it provides diverse perspectives on the experience of being bilingual in distinct cultural, political and socioeconomic contexts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Austin,María Blume,Liliana Sánchez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521115531\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521115537\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/23\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 6.70w x 0.60d","brand":"Jennifer Austin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":50663743553791,"sku":"9780521115537","price":101.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bilingualism-in-the-spanish-speaking-world-jennifer-austin-9780521115537","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
