El Mantenimiento o Desplazamiento Linguistico: El Futuro del Espanol en los Estados Unidos. (Linguistic Maintenance or Replacement: The Future of Spanish in the United States)
Gaarder, Bruce A.
Journal of the National Association for Bilingual Education, 1, 2, 29-45, Dec 76
What is the probability that Spanish, as a vernacular language, will survive in the U.S. with an increasing usage and prestige? Or will its usage, its speakers and its importance diminish rapidly in number and geographical extension? Can it be retained or will there be a shift into English? This article, written in Spanish, addresses these questions by examining various factors which today are determinants of the answers. (Author/NQ)
