  Spanish, the language of the conquerors, is now subordinate to English in California. Carmen Silva-Corvalan's book makes an original contribution to our growing knowledge of processes involved in language maintenance, shift, and loss by examining the Spanish spoken by an intergenerational sample of Mexican-American bilinguals in Los Angeles County.
