Abstract

This article presents an interpretation of the dynamics of the linguistic conflict in the Hispanic territorial domain of the Catalan language. It explains that, with the enthronement of the Trastamara dynasty in the Crown of Aragon, a process of a gradual spread of diglossia started. This process began to decline in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with the emergence and consolidation of political Catalanism, which claimed the full functional restoration of the Catalan language.

Keywords: diglossia, linguistic conflict, “Spanification”, history of Catalan.
