Ideologías lingüísticas del español : la dimensión política del panhispanismo en los Congresos Internacionales de la Lengua Española

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the role assigned to the press regarding the present and the future of Spanish in Spain and Latin America through the five International Congresses of Language (CILE) held to date. The institutional and academic nature of these events makes them a reference of the linguistic Panhispanism that at the present is experiencing one of its most expansive moments. The ultimate goal is to reconstruct the ideological-linguistic imagination that is projected onto the Spanish language and how, through its presence in the CILE, the press helps to build and report it. For this purpose a critical discursive perspective is adopted as far as it allows pointing out the actors that carry out the project in terms of inclusion/exclusion. Thus, it can be shown the most recurrent themes and highlight the strength of the economic and geopolitical interests on Spanish above any other consideration.
