In Span 5985 we will examine issues such as the following in the diverse Spanish-speaking communities across the U.S.: the social, economic, and attitudinal factors that affect language maintenance and language shift in different Spanish-speaking communities; code-switching (i.e., the alternate use of Spanish and English), when it occurs and why, and what it reveals about the speakers' underlying competence in both languages; Spanglish, what it is, who uses it and in what circumstances; attitudes of Spanish-speakers towards Spanish, English and Spanglish; how Mexican, Central American, and Caribbean varieties of Spanish have changed in bilingual communities; language policy issues, such as bilingual education and the English Only movement. The texts for the course include Rosaura Sanchez's Chicano Discourse. Socio-historical Perspectives , Carmen Silva-Corvalan's Language Contact and Change: Spanish in Los Angeles, and Ana Celia Zentella's Growing up Bilingual: Puerto Rican Children in New York, as well as selected articles.
