SUMMARY:English and Spanish in the US: Languagescapes\, ethnoscapes\, media
 scapes
DESCRIPTION:In my talk I will study the ways in which two world languages\,
  English and Spanish\, co-exist and compete in the contemporary United Sta
 tes. After reviewing the facts and figures\, I will zoom in on the ‘loca
 l lives’ of these two languages in specific places\, discourse domains\,
  and textual genres. Spanish and English influence each other through lang
 uage contact\, and they fuse and blend in a wide range of bilingual practi
 ces (loosely often referred to as Spanglish). Language use is in a complex
  and partly contradictory relationship with prevailing language ideologies
 . My main methodological point is that the study of languages in competiti
 on has the potential to release useful synergies between linguistics\, lit
 erary and cultural studies\, so that listeners from all three fields are m
 ost welcome.
