Audio recording
Resource description
This resource is a digital audio recording of an extended individual interview that took place in Barcelona, Spain, in 2017. Topics covered focus on language and society in contemporary Catalonia. The person interviewed had previously collaborated with the interviewer as a fieldworker to study language attitudes and uses in her own naturally-occurring personal social network in Barcelona in 1995. The interviewer, a participant observer of that social network in 1995, was the principal investigator on a research project concerning the Spanish spoken in and around Barcelona by members of The Generation of 1995, the first generation of Catalans ever educated in their heritage language to grow up in a democratic Spain. This interview was conducted primarily in Spanish with some discourse in Catalan. The extended portion of the interview includes a retrospective discussion about how ways of speaking and language ideologies may have changed between 1995 and 2017 for those who, in 1995, had been members of the social network studied. Informed consent has been given for this resource to be made available anonymously for research purposes. Accordingly, potentially identifying information in the recording has been redacted.
