Rarísimo venir acá a rankear un libro de texto, pero me tocó la desgracia (¿o la fortuna?) de que una de mis clases, enterita, estuviera basada en este libro. Casi que bastaba con leer el libro y no era necesario ir cada lunes... pero en fin. Total que terminé devorando el libro completo, primero por obligación y luego por gusto, o intercalándole, y me resultó una maravilla. Una introducción general a la lingüística, a la sociolingüística y a sus variantes hispanas. Además tiene una buena sección sobre la herencia árabe del español y su actualidad en EU. Está bien.

Really a nice book for those who want to study Spanish linguistics and even for those who want to know the linguistic relationship between Arabic and Spanish. The book is a bit long but it's worth reading. It's also a good read for those who study comparative and general linguistics.
