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.
