The author contends that it was this frequent mixing which caused Castilian to evolve more rapidly than other varieties of Hispano-Romance, and which rendered Spanish particularly subject to levelling of its linguistic irregularities and to simplification of its structures. These two processes continued as the language extended into and across the Americas. These processes are viewed in the context of the Hispano-Romance dialect continuum, which includes Galician, Portuguese and Catalan, as well as New World varieties. The book emphasises the subtlety and seamlessness of language variation, both geographical and social, and the impossibility of defining strict boundaries between varieties. Its conclusions will be relevant both to Hispanists and to historical sociolinguists more generally. 517 3 $aVariation & Change in Spanish 606 $aSpanish language$xVariation 606 $aSpanish language$xHistory 615 0$aSpanish language$xVariation. 615 0$aSpanish language$xHistory. 676 $a467/.009 700 $aPenny$b Ralph J$g(Ralph John),$f1940-$0164430 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780093103321 996 $aVariation and change in spanish$9490208 997 $aUNINA
