| Synopsis | The book you now hold in your hands is a journey through the many loanwords from a wide range of languages that have enriched the Spanish language over the more than two thousand years of its history. It explores around a dozen languages that have left a profound lexical—and, at times, grammatical—imprint on Spanish. The natural state of human beings is one of contact, and it is through such contact that languages are enriched by borrowing. Every language is a blend of inherited traits and imitative processes, for the capacity for language and speech is both genetically grounded and socially and culturally shaped by legacies that span centuries, and even millennia. Ultimately, to speak is a powerful marker of identity—a form of cultural DNA that gives us our sense of who we are and reflects the way we perceive the world. |
