Volumen colectivo, en inglés y de trece capítulos, sobre la presencia del español en Europa, donde casi 100 millones de personas pueden comunicarse en esta lengua. Frente a la abundancia de estudios sobre el español en los Estados Unidos, el libro aborda una realidad mucho menos estudiada con el método de la demografía lingüística: estima el número de usuarios potenciales y explica cómo se ha formado esa comunidad, en la que pesan el prestigio cultural, la enseñanza de la lengua, el contacto supranacional, la migración y la comunicación digital.

Resumen:

New quantitative methodology and the development of corpus and experimental linguistics tools have recently made researching lexical comprehension and production more accessible.

This volume brings together original empirical research and theoretical perspectives that examine lexical development in Spanish L1, L2 and L3, with a focus on different teaching approaches and textbook coverage of Spanish lexicon in L2 curricula and the use of corpus linguistics in methodological investigations. Some questions addressed include the role of lexical development in mapping grammatical acquisition phases, the potential transfers of L1 to L2 lexical...
