Analysis of the planning of the linguistic unity in Spain, in Latin America, and its expansion in New Guinea and in the Philippines through the observation of the grammatical and lexicographical works of the Real Academia de la lengua Española and of the authentic documents that show its real use in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and today.
Panhispanism and neostandard: the new era of the Spanish language. Observations from a phonological, lexical, morphological and syntactical point of view.
Reflection on the different registers of written and oral discourse through the analysis of authentic texts that exemplify the use of contemporary Spanish and its most salient features from the diachronic, diatopic, diastratic and diamesic point of view. Particular attention will be given to the lexical legacy of the calò in the colloquial register.
