Identidad etnolingüistica y construcción de ciudadanía en las Comunidades Autónomas Bilingües (CAB) de España

Abstract

In this first article, the ethnolinguistic identity as a result of the identification process with languages and cultures in contact in the bilingual Autonomous Communities (BAC) is studied, obtaining a "continuum of identity" in which the kinds of extreme identity are: the type of Autonomic identity (Basque, Catalan, Galician, Valencian) and the type of Spanish identity, which would take up the "continuum" poles, and the type of Autonomic-Spanish identity, or bilingual-bicultural, which would placed in the middle of "continuum". This has been a firm result, obtained in all the BAC. Other kinds of identities have also been obtained, considered secondary in this work for theoretical and empirical reasons as were not reflected systematically. Also, the citizenship conceptions which correspond to each group according to their geographical origin in relation with the assimilation and integration intergroup strategies, as these are predominant linguistic-cultural political strategies which exist in the BAC, here, also, relatively systematic results have been obtained
