The historical relationship between the Catalan and Occitan
languages had a definitive impact on the linguistic identity of the
powerful Crown of Aragon and the emergent Spanish Empire. 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upon a wealth of historical documents, linguistic treatises and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.
