Abstract
This book includes various papers on Paraguayan Spanish that present aspects of its phonetics, morphology, syntax, and vocabulary, as well as of mutual interference between Spanish and Guarani; the influences of Portuguese, Afro-Portuguese, and Italian; and the characteristics of bilingualism and sociolinguistic attitudes in Paraguay. De Granda s analysis ofthis variety of Spanish circumscribes two central axes: the proposal of multiple causation (takenfrom Yakov Malkiel), and the exhaustive analysis of sociohistorical data. The author relies on and firmly defends qualitative methods but does not explain the type of qualitative methods he employed. Certain weaknesses in Ms regard are discussed in the second pari of the review
