Abstract:

Spanish is spoken as a first language by almost 400 million people in
approximately 60 countries, and has been the subject of numerous political
processes and debates since it began to spread globally from Iberia in the
thirteenth century. A Political History of Spanish brings together a team of
experts to analyze the metalinguistic origins of Spanish and evaluate it as a
discursively constructed artefact; that is to say, as a language which
contains traces of the society in which it is produced, and of the discursive
traditions that are often involved and invoked in its creation. This is a
comprehensive and provocative new work which takes a fresh look at Spanish
from specific political and historical perspectives, combining the traditional
chronological organization of linguistic history and spatial categories such
as Iberia, Latin America and the US; whilst simultaneously identifying the
limits of these organizational principles.
