Convergence and divergence in Ibero-Romance across contact situations and beyond
This book aims to provide a better understanding of convergence and non-convergence phenomena, such as divergence, from different theoretical perspectives. It brings together nine case studies that deal with contact between languages found in the Iberian Peninsula (Castilian, Catalan, Portuguese and Basque), between Spanish or Portuguese and another language (such as English), and between different varieties from Europe and other continents. The volume thus unites views from two fields that rarely interact: contact linguistics and dialectology. It discusses the mechanisms and consequences of language contact within the Ibero-Romance world, a geographical space characterised by a high rate of multilingual speakers and settings. The contributions deal with various combinations of convergence and divergence, for example between different varieties of the same language, language stability despite contact, as well as less studied aspects, such as the relation between language contact and second language acquisition, the linguistic landscape perspective of language contact, and divergence in linguistic identity construction.

Heritage
Miguel de Unamuno (d. 1936), one of the most influential of modern Spanish writers and thinkers, has been described as Spain's richest mind of the twentieth century. This book provides a bibliography of the approximately 5,700 books in his private library in Salamanca and includes most of his readings and acquisitions. Also listed are at least 2,000 more books from a personal catalogue kept by Unamuno, which have been collated with the present collection.Since Unamuno read in vast and indiscriminate quantities, an organized approach to his library is essential for determining the full dimensions of his intellectual stimulation. An introductory essay by Mario J. Valdes makes an original contribution to the study of Unamuno by analysing intensively the methodology used in his readings, and relating them to his thought.This source book provides answers to many diverse questions about Unamuno and his works, for example: Which newspapers did Unamuno write in? How interested was he in literature from the United States? Did he read Kierkegaard in Spanish? What about Kant? Did he read Catalan? An appendix correlates the catalogue of readings to the Vergara edition of Unamuno's Obras completas.

Improving Your Spanish Through Examples
This book Will help you use the subjunctive tense to express yourself in a much more natural manner - just like Native Spanish Speakers do every day. Many English speakers, myself included, can feel a bit lost and confused with the names of all the different Spanish tenses that are used. Present, Past, Future - we get those. But PAST IMPERFECT SUBJUNCTIVE or PAST PLUPERFECT? Nope, no idea what those mean. Why does it matter? Because the subjunctive tense is what allows us to express wishes and dreams and desires, and even commands! This tense is what lets native Spanish speakers express themselves so colorfully.And that's why, in addition to having explanations for what different tenses do, and how they are formed, we also need EXAMPLES. In this book, James Roseborough, a ShareLingo participant, shares hundreds of examples that he put together to help other ShareLingo students, both English and Spanish speakers, better understand how to use this magical tense without going crazy with the grammar rules. Yes, grammar explanations are included, but the real aim is to provide meaningful examples for everyday speech.I know you'll love it. 癒Que Tengas un Buen D穩a!(Yes, that's a subjunctive expression you'll want to use all the time) James ArcherFounder - The ShareLingo Project.
