The Influence of Spanish on the English Language since 1801

The Influence of Spanish on the English Language since 1801: A Lexical Investigation, 1st Edition, examines the lexical contributions made to English by Spanish and its national varieties. The volume provides a systematic analysis of vocabulary adopted over more than two centuries of language contact.

The research centers on how Spanish loanwords developed from their earliest recorded appearances through modern communication. It addresses chronological distribution, contextual settings, stylistic roles, and shifts in word meaning.

To ground its findings, the work evaluates an empirical sample drawn from the Oxford English Dictionary Online alongside citations from several English language corpora.
