Esta es una obra sobre variación y cambio fónico. Su horizonte, por tanto, tiene que ver con las manifestaciones generales y particulares del cambio lingüístico. Aunque su núcleo de desarrollo consiste en el análisis de diferentes datos concretos, pretende inscribirse en una determinada forma de ver la variación, buscar explicaciones a los hechos específicos y, en definitiva, contribuir al desarrollo de la teoría del cambio lingüístico.

The editors and fourteen other research linguists discuss--in English and in Spanish--the African influence on Caribbean phonology, dominant sociolinguistic attitudes in Puerto Rico, and historico-legal aspects of bilingualism in colonial Hispanic America.
