A History of the Spanish Language
through Texts
‘A meticulous and enlightening examination of a broad selection of texts, which
are representative of Spanish during the last millennium and across the world
. . . elegantly and succinctly presented. An indispensable tool for all those working
or interested in the history of the Spanish language.’
Ralph Penny, Queen Mary and Westfield College, University of London
A History of the Spanish Language through Texts examines the evolution of the Spanish
language from the Middle Ages to the present day.
Including chapters on Latin American Spanish, US Spanish, Judeo-Spanish
and Creoles, the book looks at the spread of Castilian as well as at linguistically
interesting non-standard developments. Pountain explores a wide range of texts,
from poetry, through newspaper articles and political documents, to a Buñuel
film script and a love letter.
A History of the Spanish Language through Texts presents the formal history of the
language and its texts in a fresh and original way. The book has user-friendly
textbook features such as a series of keypoints and a careful indexing and cross-
referencing system. It can be used as a freestanding history of the language
independently of the illustrative texts themselves.
Christopher J. Pountain is a University Lecturer in Romance Philology at the
University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Queens’ College. He has over twenty
years’ experience of teaching Spanish and Romance linguistics. His publications
include Using Spanish (CUP 1992) and Modern Spanish Grammar (Routledge 1997).
