Nantong Chinese is an in-depth account of an interesting and endangered Sinitic language spoken in Nantong, China, in an area in the Northern Yangtze River Delta about 800 square kilometers in size and 105 kilometers northwest of the city of Shanghai. The Chinese language consists of several hundred local varieties known as Sinitic languages or Chinese dialects, each representing a unique linguistic system. This book offers a comprehensive and systematic insight into one such system that is even more complex and more interesting than standard Mandarin. The unique vocalization and other linguistic features of Nantong Chinese make it unintelligible to most Chinese people. All the important linguistic aspects of Nantong Chinese are covered, including its phonetic, lexical, morphological and syntactic subsystems.

"Los castellanos del Perú brings together contributions from leading researchers to provide a comprehensive overview of the varieties of Spanish in Peru. The chapters focus on varieties of Spanish from different theoretical and methodological approaches, addressing the formation of these varieties, their social context and the contact phenomena that characterize them. In this way, although the volume has a specific regional focus, the concerns it addresses are of interest and relevance to the study of other varieties of Spanish, to the treatment of other phenomena derived from linguistic contact and to dialectology and history of Latin American Spanish in general. Written in Spanish, this volume will be of interest to graduate students in Hispanic linguistics and researchers in dialectology, sociolinguistics and contact linguistics"--

"This book focuses on contemporary sociolinguistic approaches to Spanish dialectology. Each of the authors draws on key issues of contemporary sociolinguistics, combining theoretical approaches to empirical data collection. Overall, these chapters address topics concerning language variation and change, sound production and perception, contact linguistics, language teaching, language policy and ideologies. The authors urge us, as linguists, to take a stand on important issues, and to continue applying theory to praxis so as to advance the frontiers of research of the field. This edited volume in honor of Professor Terrell A. Morgan is a means of celebrating an amazing friend, advisor and human being, who has dedicated his career to teaching graduate and undergraduate students, performed key research in the field, and helped to further pedagogy in the classroom through his textbooks, seminars and websites"--
