Class Description:: The focus of this course is on sociolinguistic variation and cross-dialectal diversity in different varieties of Spanish in Latin America and Spain. It includes a critical examination of the relationship between language use and social factors in the Spanish-speaking world.

The two textbooks for this course, Silva-Corvalan's Sociolinguistica y pragmatica del espa?ol (2001) and Blas Arroyo's Sociolinguistica del espa?ol (2005), will be supplemented with primary research articles focusing on current issues in Spanish sociolinguistics.
