SELECTED PUBLICATIONS: Dr. Ferrero will be collaborating again with Dr. Lasso-von Lang as they edit a second edition their book Variedades linguísticas y lenguas en contacto en el mundo de habla hispana. (Bloomington, Indiana), which they also use as a textbook in the course on bilingualism and languages in contact in the Spanish-speaking world. The new edition will include new material, such as the contact of the Spanish language with Arabic in Morocco (particularly in the cities of Ceuta and Melilla), with Tagalog and English in the Philippines, with the native languages in Guinea Ecuatorial (Africa), and with Hatian Creole on the border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Dr. Ferrero will also expand her own chapter on the influence of Mayan and Náhuatl languages in the Spanish spoken in Mexico.
Recently, Dr. Ferrero presented "Escritoras y Compromiso. Literatura española e hispanoamericana de los siglos XX y XXI" at a conference in Madrid, Spain; her paper has already been accepted for publication by St. Louis University.
