With more than forty million speakers of Spanish in the United States, this course explores the linguistic, cultural, and historical construct of the Latino population in the country. Throughout the semester, we will ask what Spanish in the United States sounds like, as we document similarities as well as differences from speech communities across the country. This course addresses linguistic features of Spanish in the United States by examining dialects of Spanish in contact with one another, Spanish in contact with English, and the notion of Spanglish. We review how Spanish is produced and perceived in a variety of domains, including public spaces, politics, and education, so as to understand not only the ways speakers construct and negotiate their language practices and linguistic identities, but also the social meaning behind such applications. This course will be conducted in Spanish; undergraduate students must have already taken a previous 300-level course in Spanish.
