Mexican Spanish in the Twentieth Century: Stratification and Variation

Mexican Spanish in the Twentieth Century explores the trends and patterns of sociolinguistic stratification and variation, providing a clearer understanding of linguistic variation in Mexican Spanish as spoken in the twentieth century.
