Module A:
Students will be encouraged to reflect on the concept of a national language, to observe the evolution of the project for a monolingual nation in the nineteenth century to the present state of multilingualism recognized by the Constitution; to analyze the planning of a single language in Spain and in Latin America and the pan Hispanic policy of the “Real Academia de la Lengua Española” and its sisters academies in Latin America since the nineteenth century to the present and their concrete results.
a) There will be an investigation into the disappearance of caló, the language of the Gypsies, as a direct result of linguistic unification.
b) There will be a discussion of twenty-first century Spanish and its deterioration from the point of view of phonology, lexical, morphological and syntactic structure with a focus on the penetration of Anglicisms.
Module B:
The course will examine, from an interdiscoursive and intersemiotic perspective, developments and/or involutions of the stylistic registers of Spanish in different genres from the “modern” to the “post-modern” era. It will also analyze the relationships between verbal and non-verbal artistic languages. The corpus examined (narrative works, essays, journalistic texts, poetry) ranges from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 21stcentury.
