Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Union Institute, 1998.

This dissertation is a macro-analytical study of Puerto Rico's linguistic situation from the viewpoint of the political economy of colonialism. The Marxist sociological paradigm, its methodology of historical-dialectical materialism, is submitted as a conceptual apparatus to guide the investigation of the various political and economic processes that brought about a colonial form of social organization in Puerto Rico. These political and economic processes and developments are examined through an interdisciplinary scope. An interdisciplinary paradigm is created from the merging of radical schemes in political sociology, economic anthropology, sociology of language, cultural and philosophical anthropology, and education. Two orientations from linguistic studies are central in this discourse, the political economy of language and the sociolinguistic of the periphery. The Marxist theory of social change is use to bridge a conversation among the disciplines mentioned above.

520 $a This dissertation is a macro-analytical study of Puerto Rico's linguistic situation from the viewpoint of the political economy of colonialism. The Marxist sociological paradigm, its methodology of historical-dialectical materialism, is submitted as a conceptual apparatus to guide the investigation of the various political and economic processes that brought about a colonial form of social organization in Puerto Rico. These political and economic processes and developments are examined through an interdisciplinary scope. An interdisciplinary paradigm is created from the merging of radical schemes in political sociology, economic anthropology, sociology of language, cultural and philosophical anthropology, and education. Two orientations from linguistic studies are central in this discourse, the political economy of language and the sociolinguistic of the periphery. The Marxist theory of social change is use to bridge a conversation among the disciplines mentioned above.
520 $a The milieu of dependency and resistance that typifies a colonial society, delineates the framework for individual and collective socialization and is the locus in which ideologized cognition are formed. Therefore, any analysis of language conflicts must account for the materiality of social life, because it is the place where identities are constructed and contested. Notwithstanding, social narratives or discourse also contributes to the formation of identities. In this deliberation, the concept of ideology is used eclectically. Ideology may be described as ideas informing social practices and as cognition embodied in social behavior. Ideology may also be described as a system of ideas that reflect or mirror the nature of a given form of social organization and economic order. And also described in pejorative terms, ideology as the slanted view of dominant classes that is circulated throughout the entire social ensemble and creates the illusion of social solidarity. Among other things, this conversation asserts that Puerto Rico's structure of production and political superstructure generate ideological practices that support the supervaloration of English and foment the idea of the Spanish language as a language of underdevelopment. This lopsided valuation of languages reflects the asymmetrical relations of power between an economic center (USA) and a peripheral region, Puerto Rico.
520 $a A materially based probe of Puerto Rico's class structure, productive process, and political superstructure, are complementary to the study of linguistic colonialism. In Puerto Rico there exist class inequalities at the level of the infrastructure and at the level of the superstructure. The valuation of languages is determined to a large extent by the retroaction of these two spheres. A foreign and Anglophone dominant class exercises economic, political, and ideological leadership over an intermediary political class, emerging classes, and an Spanish-speaking working class. This class structure is not articulated internally but externally.
520 $a Bilingual language planning is germane to the established economic order and the split political personality of the island. How languages are socially valued and how they achieved a particular status are determined by material and ideological conditions. Although, could be argued that the status and social valuation of English and Spanish in Puerto Rico is partially influenced by the globalization of capital and the functional load achieved by English world wide, the political economy of colonialism and its ideological base are the preeminent factors determining the valuation and status of these languages in this Spanish-speaking Caribbean island.
