This history of the Spanish lexicon is written from the interacting perspectives        of linguistic and cultural change and in the light of advances in the study of        language contact and lexical change. The author describes the language inherited        from spoken Latin in the Iberian Peninsula during six centuries of Roman occupation        and examines the degree to which it imported words from the languages - of which        only Basque survives - of pre-Roman Spain. He then shows how Germanic words        wereimported either indirectly through Latin or Old French or directly by contact        with the Visigoths. He describes the importation of Arabisms following the        eighth-century Arab conquest of Spain, distinguishing those documented in medieval        sources from those adopted for everyday use, many of whichsurvive in modern Spanish.          He considers the influence of Old French and Old Provenal and identifies        late direct and indirect borrowings from Latin, including the Italian elements taken        up during the Renaissance. After outlining minor influences from languages such as        Flemish, Portuguese, and Catalan, Professor Dworkin examines the effects on the        lexicon of contact between Spanish and the indigenous languages of South and Central        America, and the impact of contact with English. The bookis aimed at advanced        students and scholars of Spanish linguistics and will interest specialists in        Hispanic literary and cultural studies.
