The Handbook of Hispanic Sociolinguistics is a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of theoretical and applied research in this emerging field. Each of its sections brings together the latest perspectives by internationally renowned sociolinguists on key research strands, including phonological and morpho-syntactic variation; language, age, and gender; language contact; Spanish in the United States of America; and language policy and planning.

Featuring newly-commissioned material, the Handbook is an authoritative response to the need for a dedicated resource on sociolinguistic research in Spanish, and will help shape the ongoing discussions in this field for years to come.
