  The Spanish Language Today describes the varied and changing Spanish language at the end of the twentieth century. Suitable for introductory level upward, this book examines:
  * where Spanish is spoken on a global scale
  * the status of Spanish within the realms of politics, education and media
  * the standardisation of Spanish
  * specific areas of linguistic variation and change
  * how other languages and dialects spoken in the same areas affect the Spanish language
  * whether new technologies are an opportunity or a threat to the Spanish language.
  The Spanish Language Today contains numerous extracts from contemporary press and literary sources, a glossary of technical terms and selected translations.
