This book documents linguistic practices and ideologies toward language, identity,
and nationalism among 35 members of the first generation in Spain to grow up with
democracy and Catalan language normalization. Part I reproduces, translates, and
analyzes artifacts (1975-1998) concerning language shift, linguistic nationalism, and
Europeanization, illustrating contemporaneous sociologies of language and
globalization in Catalonia. Part II transcribes, translates, and ethnographically
analyzes oral histories from 2017 Barcelona Metro, detailing ways of speaking (about
topics like identity, cultural malaise, politics, and self-determination) involving
globalization processes. Part III analyzes variation in ideologies and ideological
changes (1995-2017) based on childhood linguistic exposure and adult network ties,
unpacking emergent lexical coding that indexes globalizing values and worldviews.
This book will be of interest to fields including sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology,
sociology, communications, political science, Iberian studies, and Catalan studies.
