Hoja de servicios y futuro de la sociolingüística catalana: una exploración epistemológica (y glotopolítica)

This text is intended to be an exploration of the recent history of sociolinguistics in Catalonia from its establishment as a group in the 70s and its glottopolitic impact to current controversies over the independence perspective. Of a distinctly nationalistic type in its beginnings, it was more than just a social science: the inspiring of the post-Franco sociolinguistic reconquest through its recommendations and its actions that the autonomous power of Catalonia has been able to take into account. It now seems to be torn apart with regard to sociolinguistic diagnosis and the glottopolitic objective between an option that remains firm in terms of the original bases: Catalan is the only national language of Catalonia and must therefore have exclusivity in an eventual Catalan Republic;  and another option that considers that Catalan-Spanish bilingualism has its full raison d'etre in an independent Catalonia.
