Drawing upon a wealth of historical documents, linguistic treatises and literary texts, this book offers fresh insights into the political and cultural forces that shaped national identities in the Iberian Peninsula and, consequently, neighboring areas of the Mediterranean during the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period. The innovative textual approach taken in these pages exposes the multifaceted ways in which the boundaries between the region's most prestigious languages were contested, and demonstrates how linguistic identities were linked to ongoing struggles for political power. As the analysis reveals, the ideological construction of Occitan would play a crucial role in the construction of a unified Catalan, and Catalan would, in turn, give rise to a fervent debate around 'Spanish' language that has endured through the present day. This book will appeal to students and scholars of historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, Hispanic linguistics, Catalan language and linguistics, anthropological linguistics, Early Modern literature and culture, and the history of the Mediterranean. 606 $aHistorical linguistics 606 $aSociolinguistics 606 $aRomance languages 606 $aLiterature, Medieval 606 $aEuropean literature$yRenaissance, 1450-1600 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x476-1492 606 $aHistorical Linguistics 606 $aSociolinguistics 606 $aRomance Languages 606 $aMedieval Literature 606 $aEarly Modern and Renaissance Literature 606 $aHistory of Medieval Europe 615 0$aHistorical linguistics. 615 0$aSociolinguistics. 615 0$aRomance languages. 615 0$aLiterature, Medieval. 615 0$aEuropean literature 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x476-1492. 615 14$aHistorical Linguistics. 615 24$aSociolinguistics. 615 24$aRomance Languages. 615 24$aMedieval Literature. 615 24$aEarly Modern and Renaissance Literature. 615 24$aHistory of Medieval Europe. 676 $a449.909 700 $aLledó-Guillem$b Vicente$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0982215 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300595803321 996 $aThe Making of Catalan Linguistic Identity in Medieval and Early Modern Times$92241664 997 $aUNINA
