Abstract

This article focuses on the transnational dimension of varieties of Spanish in contact with English, and with each other, in US Spanish-language television programming. It also scrutinizes the concept of a ‘neutral Spanish’ in networks such as Univision and Cisneros Media, in relation to the expansion of the television market.
