The Asturian Language

Distinctiveness, Identity, and Officiality

Herausgegeben: Corral Esteban, Avelino

Beschreibung

This volume is composed of papers presented at the 1st. International Conference on the Asturian Language, which took place on 27 ¿ 28 April 2022 at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Said papers cover a wide range of disciplines related to the subject: education, historical linguistics, syntax, phonology, lexis, sociolinguistics, and literature, all focused upon the three central themes around which the conference revolved: the distinctiveness of the Asturian language, its intimate relationship with the Asturian identity, and the absolute necessity of insisting upon its status as an official Romance language so as to ensure its preservation and revitalization. On the occasion of the imminent public debate upon the question of its official status, this volume aims to serve as a tribute to all those who made it possible to reach this crucial stage. Hopefully it will also become a contributing factor in conferring upon Asturian the prominence it deserves.
