«Derecho al toro» is Carlos Abella's essay on bullfighting language and its influence on everyday life, from Anaya & Mario Muchnik (1993, paperback, 267 pages).
The book studies the terminology and expressions of the bullfighting world and traces their incorporation into daily speech. Drawing on sayings, proverbs and linguistic usages linked to bullfighting, Abella shows how this vocabulary has left its mark on everyday communication in Spanish, with an approach that brings together popular culture, history and language.
Includes black-and-white illustrations and bibliographic references and index.
