Mood Variability in Border Spanish.
Studerus, Lenard
Bilingual Review/Revista Bilingue, v20 n2 p99-113 May-Aug 1995
Explores several aspects of Spanish mood use within the single dialect area of the Texas-Mexico border that exhibits two slightly different varieties of Spanish. Findings reveal an overwhelming variability in mood use in every example studied on both sides of the border. Age does not play any role in mood selection for either group. Other findings are discussed. (31 references) (CK)
