Beskrivning

The Spanish Lexicon of Baseball: Semantics, Style, and Terminology draws on nearly 6,000 published MLB game summaries to explore the contours of baseball terminology in Spanish. Organized in a logical sequence that corresponds to various aspects of baseball (field of play, player positions, getting on base, types and modes of hits, scoring, runs-batted-in, umpire involvement and calls, pitching, and defense), the work combines narrative style and illustrative examples with keen lexical analysis. The result is an entertaining and informative volume that is neither folksy nor linguistically overcomplicated.

Recensioner i media

The Spanish Lexicon of Baseball: Semantics, Style, and Terminology fills a scholarly void in Hispanic linguistic studies but will be of interest to a diverse audience, from lexicographers and learners of Spanish to baseball fans and sports enthusiasts. This volume is well overdue, and it will likely serve as a model for similar books regarding other sports.
