El Español Hablado en América Central by ISBN: 3954870673Date: 2013Las investigaciones que tratan el español hablado en los países que conforman América Central (Belice, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica y Panamá) han quedado rezagadas durante décadas, a tal punto que lo único que imperaba, al margen de algunas excepciones, eran trabajos hechos por aficionados en lexicografía prescriptiva.En un intento por erradicar el vacío en el estudio y conocimiento de sus rasgos esenciales, los autores del presente libro dan un paso adelante en la descripción de la morfosintaxis del español de esta región del continente americano. Emplean para ello una metodología unificada y sistematizada, de modo que todo interesado en el tema pueda seguir, paso a paso, los rasgos más sobresalientes -ya sea de la morfología nominal, de la morfología verbal o de algunas estructuras sintácticas- de cada uno de los países del istmo centroamericano; además, podrá comparar dichos rasgos, tanto desde un punto de vista geolectal como sociolingüístico.El presente libro recoge aportes científicos de Erick A. Rivera Orellana, Carmen Chavarría Úbeda, Ramón A. Hernández Torres, Tania E. Díaz Cano, Christian L. López Rivera, María Castillo Venegas, Tarahy S. Tinoco Rodríguez y Miguel Ángel Quesada Pacheco.
