Spanish/English Contrasts by M Stanley Whitley
Describes Spanish language and its differences from English. This book offers coverage that ranges from pronunciation and grammar to word meaning, language use, and social and dialectical variation. It brings out the ways in which insights into the two languages have evolved as scholars have built on the work and research of others in the field.
What was a very good introduction to applied Spanish linguistics is even better, and it remains the best work in its genreNowhere else will the interested nonspecialist find such a rich and accessible trove of information on how Spanish works as a linguistic system for communication, along with discussion of how it can best be taught and learned. Modern Language Journal Spanish/English Contrasts is targeted specifically at current and future teachers of Spanish to English speakers, and it may be useful for translators ... A good candidate for a course on the structure of Spanish or for a comparative linguistics course. Canadian Modern Language Review
