On Demand Session

The U.S. has one of the largest populations of Spanish-speakers in the world, yet the varieties of Spanish spoken here are often stigmatized. This talk explores some of the features of U.S. Spanish, the mechanisms that lead to linguistic prestige, the term "Spanglish," and positive ways that educators and family members can encourage Spanish development among heritage speakers.
