La lógica de inferiorización de las variedades lingüísticas no dominantesel caso paradigmático del andaluz : un estudio desde la sociolingüística crítica y la perspectiva decolonial

Zusammenfassung

The challenge of this thesis is to study the hierarchy of linguistic varieties and the linguistic ideology under which it is constructed. Critica! Sociolinguistics provides us epistemological and conceptual operational tools far our interests and the decolonial perspective completes what the sociolinguistic critica! approach, of postmodern basis, is not capable of conceiving, as a Eurocentric criticism of Eurocentrism, which also needs to be decolonized. Language is conceived as a social practice, as a marker from which unequal social relations are reproduced, based on specific linguistic ideologies. Durkheimian social consensus, assumed by Saussure through W. D. Whitney and the structural linguistics that happens to them, is rejected here. Each interindividual practice updates relations of intergroup forces, como indica Bourdieu, so it is not isolated facts or the practices of prejudiced individuals who simply discriminate against other individuals. There is an institutionality (school, media, public speeches, etc.) that supports these practices. The radio as an institution that reproduces the linguistic ideologies that support these practices. The school is a knowledge producing and reproducing institution that informs and conducts sociocognitive representations and social practices. These are the ethnographic axes of this thesis, from which to analyze the hierarchical logic of the non-dominant linguistic varieties, specifically the Andalusian one. This is the research question: what logic governs the hierarchy of linguistic varieties? Such varieties are symbolic capitals of social groups, cultural elements consubstantial to such human groupings. Therefore, in reality, it is a hierarchy of such groups, that is, of that which sociolinguistics calls speech community. The document explores the linguistic social and scientific ideologies of Linguistics and Philology, making this conceptualization dialogue with linguistic studies and their epistemic developments. The field work has been carried out in the Cadena SER of Madrid through a sociolinguistic critica! ethnography with Andalusian journalists. Other ethnographies in other symbolic fields, different from the media, complete this investigation. It also explores the linguistic ideology of the educational system and the social construction of linguistic, epistemic and ontological racism against Andalusia, highlighting the consequences far its inhabitants: decapitalization. The author develops two fundamental concepts: linguistic and social privilege, and despacialization, constructed through ideological processes such as iconization, fractal recursivity, and erasure.
