Abstract

Language shift reversal (LSR) is defined as a change in progress affecting Spanish language use along the US-Mexico border and some other extended areas of the country during the past few decades. LSR is contrasted with reversing language shift (RLS), the result of official language policy and planning. Samples of LSR in San Diego County are presented in connection with reactions towards bilingual education in a space loaded with ambivalence. In this scenario, a reflection on intercultural communication is offered in the light of the international trade agreement with Mexico.
