Constructing Spanish

Abstract

How has the Spanish language come to be constructed as hegemonic in a multilingual Spanish State? While other historic Iberian languages such as the Catalan, the Galizan (or Galician), or the Basque survived, despite all odds, nearly forty years of repression during the Franco regime (1939-1975), how does language policy play out in contemporary Spain, 35 years after the fall of the dictatorship, and specifically in the country’s educational system? The challenges posed to Spain’s minority languages continue to this day, albeit through combined forces of transnational origins both within and beyond State boundaries. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
