Abstract

This is the interview that Sandes, Manjón-Cabeza Cruz and Molina Ortés do with one of the icons of Hispanic sociolinguistics, Francisco Moreno Fernández. Since 1995, the interviewee has been director of the international project PRESEEA (Project for the Sociolinguistic Study of Spanish in Spain and America) and has more than 200 publications among books, chapters, articles and reviews. Although much of his research is related to dialectology and Hispanic sociolinguistics, Moreno Fernández also works in the fields of semantics and lexicography and also in the area of language teaching. In the interview, the award-winning sociolinguist deals with several aspects such as his beginning as a researcher, his investigative line, issues related to area in the Spanish context and abroad, controversies and coincidences in the discussions between authors, as well as on the importance of sociolinguistics for the teaching of languages.
