摘要

This chapter provides qualitative analysis of longitudinal identity and ideology constructions in Barcelona, advancing previous analyses. Vann interprets emergent lexical codings of catalanes, castellanos, españoles, Cataluña, España, el pueblo (catalán), and el estado español as sociolinguistically focused, ongoing practices of “resistance languaging” that reshape community linguistic norms, mobilizing linguistic forms and meanings as world-building elements in acts of categorization tied to generation entelechy. Apropos of complex diversity and civic nationalism, such acts bring profits of distinction in transnational spaces based on language-independent social ties, representing cultural practices that index new-fashioned values, mores, and ways of doing being Catalan, with cognitive implications for community and country. Folks with 1995 ties to a less Catalanist, Spanish-speaking network emerge as agents of political mobilization and language ideological change.
