Spanish in Chicago describes the spoken Spanish of Chicago-based Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and MexiRicans across three generations, identifying patterns of change and their likely causes. Through close sociolinguistic analysis of a large corpus of interviews, Kim Potowski and Lourdes Torres trace the effects of language and dialect contact, providing a vital contribution to sociolinguistics and Latino studies.
