SPA 514 - History of the Spanish Language

An historical panorama of the development of Spanish from late Latin on the Iberian Peninsula to the globally dynamic language of our present. Students will study the modern Spanish language in Europe, Africa, the Americans, and around the world. How this language came to be, and how it continues to change.
