The Enciclopedia de Linguistica Hispánica provides comprehensive coverage of the major and subsidiary fields of Spanish linguistics. Entries are extensively cross-referenced and arranged alphabetically within three main sections: Part 1 covers linguistic disciplines, approaches and methodologies. Part 2 brings together the grammar of Spanish, including subsections on phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics. Part 3 brings together the historical, social and geographical factors in the evolution of Spanish. Drawing on the expertise of a wide range of contributors from across the Spanish-speaking world the Enciclopedia de Linguistica Hispánica is an indispensable reference for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Spanish, and for anyone with an academic or professional interest in the Spanish language/Spanish linguistics.
The topics treated in the Fourth Catalan Symposium - and assembled here together - range from general studies on modern Catalan poetry (Boehne), to more specific studies on a poet (Cocozzella on Agusti Bartra), a particular poem (Sola-Sole on El cant espiritual), a novel (Guasch on a novel by Antonia Vicens, and Gonzalez-Casanovas on a novel by Lluis Racionero) and modern Catalan folktales (Neugaard). The correspondence between the Catalan women writers Merce Rodoreda and Anna Muria is analyzed (Benejam Cobb), and the stylistic relationship between Pere Calders and Julio Cortazar (Barbera) is also discussed.
