Abstract
- In this edited volume, Martha Islas has compiled a remarkable collection of previously unpublished studies in honor of the renowned Mexican linguist Yolanda Lastra. The collection includes contributions from a variety of international researchers working within the three main linguistic subdisciplines in which Lastra has distinguished herself-- indigenous languages, Spanish, and sociolinguistics. All of the chapters are written in Spanish, except for Jane Hill's study of loan words in the Mesoamerican maize complex and Kenneth Hill's paper on Hopi phonology, both of which appear in English.
