The series Manuals of Romance Linguistics (MRL) presents a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of Romance linguistics. It will comprise approximately 60 volumes that can either be consulted individually or used as a series of books providing a detailed overall picture of the current state of research in Romance linguistics. Special focus is placed on the presentation and analysis of the smaller languages, the linguae minores.
This handbook, designed both as an introduction for students and a reference work for the entire research community, gives a concise, systematic and extensive overview of the different topics and approaches associated with linguistic research on American Spanish.
