SITA FARIAS, Virginia. Pluricentrism, the language policy of the royal spanish academy, and discourses on the spanish language in hispanic linguistic culture. Nueva rev. filol. hisp. [online]. 2024, vol.72, n.1, pp.3-44.  Epub 08-Mar-2024. ISSN 2448-6558.  https://doi.org/10.24201/nrfh.v72i1.3925.

The purpose of this paper is threefold. First, we will examine the problems related to the concept of pluricentrism, as well as the issues concerning the notion of Spanish as a pluricentric language. Secondly, we will discuss the relationship between the unity of the language and pluricentrism in pan-Hispanic language policy; in so doing, we will take into account the RAE’s discourses on standardisation. Lastly, we will analyze how the conceptualization of unity and pan-Hispanism in the academic context is reflected in the configuration of the pan-Hispanic norm and the way it is presented and addressed by the RAE.
