Spanish filology

Biculturalism and Spanish in Contact: Sociolinguistic Case Studies traces the development of Spanish and its contact with other languages using a sociolinguistic framework from both synchronic and diachronic angles. The chosen linguistic areas exhibit socio-historical contact with Spanish.
Three sections compose this volume:
(i) Border speech communities;
(ii) Outcomes and perceptions in situations of language and dialect contact; and
(iii) Contact and alternation: social boundaries of language switching.
This collection offers new perspectives in the field of language contact and change. It serves as a valuable reference for educators, scholars, language professionals, and general readers with an interest in the vitality of the Spanish language in contact with other languages. The volume provides a historical, social, and linguistic overview of Spanish varieties in the United States, Latin America, and Spain. Each chapter presents an original study that details social factors that have shaped contact varieties of Spanish, providing principal arguments and theories about language use, contact, and change. Each chapter can be read independently and ends with a series of guided topics for discussion, reflection, and further research, enhancing its appeal as a classroom text. With its wide scope, this book is a landmark in language interaction processes and studies.

Esta tesis fue realizada en el marco del Máster de Alta Especialización en Filología Hispánica impartido en el Centro de Ciencias Humanas y Sociales del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas. Una beca otorgada por la Fundación Carolina de España me permitió viajar a Madrid y dedicarme exclusivamente a cursar el máster y a escribir el presente trabajo; mi primer agradecimiento, por tanto, va dirigido a esta organización. El Dr. Abraham Madroñal Durán, director de esta tesis, por su apoyo y enseñanzas merece también mi más sincera gratitud. Este reconocimiento se hace extensivo a todo el plantel de profesores y directivos del posgrado por los aportes que cada uno sumó a mi formación. Agradezco especialmente al Dr. Ignacio Arellano por sus clases y por sus indicaciones bibliográficas, que me posibilitaron enriquecer mi tarea. Asimismo, manifiesto mi agradecimiento a Macarena Carroccio, Pablo Reyes y Juan José Mendoza, quienes colaboraron en la revisión del texto, y a Natalia Staiano, cuyas sugerencias me permitieron resolver algunos puntos difíciles de la edición. Finalmente, la inmensa paciencia que tuvieron mi esposa Cecilia y mi hijo Manuel durante mi ausencia merece una equivalente gratitud.

Si veda M.T. de la Peña Marazuela, N. Moreno, Catálogo de los fondos manuscritos de Juan Ramón Jiménez, Madrid, Ministerio de Cultura, 1979. Delle sette sezioni in cui è stato suddiviso il materiale custodito nel Fondo, è stata presa in esame quella relativa alla "Obra poética", completa della sottosezione "Series de títulos agrupados por formas poéticas". Si tenga però presente che manca una classificazione dei singoli documenti ed è quindi impossibile conoscere previamente quale sia il contenuto specifico di ogni sezione. Per questa ragione si è ritenuto indispensabile attribuire ad ogni documento trascritto una sigla identificativa. 2 Questo articolo viene estratto da un più ampio lavoro di ricerca svolto nella mia tesi di dottorato dal titolo Il primo Juan Ramón Jiménez. Varianti d'autore e sviluppo dei testi, discussa il 13 maggio 2011 presso l'Università di Roma La Sapienza (Dottorato di Ricerca in Filologia e Letterature Romanze), sotto la supervisione del professore Norbert von Prellwitz. DUE ESEMPI DI VARIANTISTICA D'AUTORE NEL PRIMO JUAN RAMÓN JIMÉNEZ: «CUARTO» E «DANZA CANTADA»

Project ID: 705386 Financé au titre de: H2020-EU.1.3.2.-Nurturing excellence by means of cross-border and cross-sector mobility Ovid –the classical Roman poet of love and mythology– became an immensely influential literary figure in Western Europe during the 12th and 13th centuries. Due to his versatility, ambiguity and multi-generic poetic creativity his readership only kept growing towards the Renaissance, although this demanded a number of different reading strategies (or excuses), best known through the French adaptation of the Metamorphoses, Ovide moralisé (14th century). But allegory and moralizing were not the only medieval appropriations of Ovid's myths. The present project aims to bring the historical and literate reception of the Metamorphoses and the Heroides into the discussion. Reading Ovid's classical mythology 'at face value' or as a part of history was, in fact, a substantial part of the medieval engagement with the Roman poet. Two major works of vernacular historical writing actually use Ovid's texts in this manner: the Castilian General estoria (compiled 1270-84), and the French narrative of the ancient world, the Histoire ancienne jusqu'à César (14th cent. version). The three vernacular texts and their similar appropriation of Ovid need to be studied together. This comparative, multilingual and transnational approach is another innovative aspect of the proposal. Breaking out of nationally defined research traditions requires a new intellectual framework which will be provided by the Danish-English Centre of Excellence, the Centre for Medieval Literature (Odense and York). The project fits perfectly into the European agenda of CML which divides its research into three main strands: fictionality, languages, and canon. The present proposal will draw on, and contribute to, CML in all three areas: studying literature that crosses languages (Latin, French, Castilian), theorizing both the medieval canon (differing but contemporary approaches to Ovid) and the modern, and bringing the medieval reception of classical mythology into the discussion about fictionality and historicity.

La Historia de la literatura española está llena de huecos, y la biografía de Francisco Delicado, autor de la Lozana  andaluza, es uno de ellos. En esta nota doy noticia del paradero de un ejemplar del Spechio vulgare per  li sacerdoti, obra que hasta ahora no era localizable, y añado algunos datos con la intención de ayudar a conocer mejor la vida y la obra de Delicado.
