Department of Spanish and Portuguese

Prerequisite:  HISP-S 326 or Consent of the Department

This course provides a survey of current issues of bilingualism in the Spanish-speaking world with a special focus on bilingualism in the U.S. Using the tools of sociolinguistics, the course examines patterns of language use, acquisition, and attrition, regional characteristics of U.S. Spanish, contact phenomena with English (and other regional languages), as well as contact between varieties of Spanish. In our discussion of the social aspects of U.S. Spanish we also study attitudes, identity, and phenomena related to the use of Spanish in public spaces, and in the education system.
