La internacionalización del mundo financiero es una realidad, y la liberalización de los sistemas financieros han producido una mayor flexibilización de contratación en los mercados internacionales. Este diccionario ofrece un compendio explicativo de la extensa serie de términos de la lengua inglesa que se usan con frecuencia en español dentro del ámbito de la terminología de los mercados financieros. El autor ha tratado de aproximarse al tema desde una óptica real. Las voces y expresiones aquí registradas son conocidas y usadas regularmente por todos aquellos que, de una manera directa o indirecta, se mueven en el mundo económico y financiero. Resulta interesante el tratamiento lingüístico de la etimología más próxima que se da al término para conocer con mayor rigor y exactitud el por qué se usa y su vinculación con la jerga, ya que, recordemos, la terminología financiera está basada la mayoría de las veces, en el habla cotidiana. Esta obra puede ser útil para los filólogos, traductólogos, economistas y abogados ya que los foros de la filología moderna han incorporado a sus planteamientos tradicionales los estudios que se ocupan del uso de los idiomas en contextos especializados. En este diccionario se recogen ejemplos reales tomados de la prensa económica española actual, de las dos variedades más comunes del inglés, el británico y el americano, aunque más bien podríamos hablar de inglés internacional ya que la globalización de los mercados ha hecho que desaparezcan algunos rasgos diferenciales.

Second Language Identities examines how identity is an issue in different second language learning contexts. It begins with a detailed presentation of what has become a popular approach to identity in the social sciences (including applied linguistics) today, one that is inspired in poststructuralist thought and is associated with the work of authors such as Anthony Giddens, Zygmunt Bauman, Chris Weedon, Judith Butler and Stuart Hall. It then examines how in early SLA research focussing on affective variables, identity was an issue, lurking in the wings but not coming to centre stage. Moving to the present, the book then examines in detail and critiques recent research focussing on identity in three distinct second language learning contexts. These contexts are: (1) adult migration, (2) foreign language classrooms and (3) study abroad programmes. The book concludes with suggestions for future research focussing on identity in second language learning.
