The battleground of metaphors: Language debates and symbolic violence in Puerto Rico (1930–1960)
In Puerto Rico, the defense of Spanish and discussions of bilingualism have been conditioned by the island’s local politics and its relationships with the United States. Previous research has looked at how identity politics and specific political players produced arguments in favor or against various language proposals. Yet, questions regarding the complex ideological nature of the language debate in Puerto Rico remain to be examined with greater…
Representing and regimenting languages in a transnational setting: The case of the Haitian-Dominican border
My analysis focuses on linguistic representations in order to shed light on the political, ethnic, and linguistic boundaries of the two nation-states that share the island of Hispaniola. In the context of the 20th century, Dominican politicians and philologists converged, creating a concentrated network of schools with Spanish as the language of instruction, prohibiting the use of Haitian Creole (Kreyòl), renaming numerous places from French or K…
Reflections inspired by a scholarly book on the Haitian Creole language and a good old-fashioned language debate
The following note is a brief discussion of the most recent developments in the language debate in Haiti. Our main objective is to raise awareness of the ongoing tensions between those that advocate for some type of bilingual Haitian society and those who passionately seek to empower Haitian Creole. These reflections were triggered by the availability of the first comprehensive linguistic, social and historical account of Haitian Creole, Spears a…
La regimentación lingüística en un escenario transnacional: La República Dominicana / Haití
Este análisis se centra en los procesos de construcción de las fronteras etnolingüísticas de los dos estados-nación que comparten la isla de La Española. En el contexto del siglo XX, los políticos y los filólogos dominicanos unieron sus esfuerzos para crear una tupida red de escuelas que tenían el español como idioma de instrucción, prohibir el uso del creole, cambiar el nombre francés o creole de numerosos lugares por otro nombre en español, y p…
Tracing Dominican Identity
The author analyzes and discusses the socio-historical meanings and implications of Pedro Henríquez Ureña's (1884-1946) writings on language. This important twentieth century Latin American intellectu
Nationalism and Hispanoamericanism in the Dominican Republic and Latin America
S pecific cultural and political circumstances contributed to Pedro Henríquez Ureña’s writings on Dominican and Latin American identities. Therefore, Henríquez Ureña’s linguistic texts, especially those in which he affirmed the independent development of American Spanish, cannot be fully understood without reference to the questions of Latin American identity that have preoccupied intellectuals from this continent. Furthermore, Henríquez Ureña’s …
The iconization of Dominican Spanish in Pedro Henríquez Ureña’s linguistic texts
This study approaches Pedro Henríquez Ureña’s linguistic work on Dominican Spanish by situating it in the political context in which it emerged. Henríquez Ureña’s travels, work and publications encompass many parts of the Spanish-speaking world on both sides of the Atlantic. Linguists have generally tended to descriptively review Henríquez Ureña’s contributions to Spanish American dialectology and have avoided any critical examination of the cond…
