Review:

"... will undoubtedly become one of the most important contributions to the study of the variety of Spanish spoken by Catalans. The volume has crucial value in Hispanic linguistics due to the relevance of its multiple topics of study, the genre of language that it documents, the advantages of its methodology, and the resulting uniqueness of the corpus it contains." - Prof. Montserrat Casanovas Catala Universitat de Lleida "The detailed description of the techniques used in data collection and analysis, together with a transcript in ordinary spelling of a significant portion of the corpus, add to the volume's worth as a very useful language documentation in addition to its intrinsic value as a case study of field work methodology." - Prof. Milton M. Azevedo University of California, Berkeley"
