The Valencian linguistic conflict, [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] also known as Valencian sociolinguist conflict, [1] refers to the conflict between the use of the Spanish and Valencian languages in Valencia, Spain. [6]
During the Battle of Valencia (1978–1982), the term was used to refer to a controversy about the Valencian language and its relationship with the other dialects of the Catalan language. [3] [7] [6] This discussion is considered to be secondary when compared to the Valencian language controversy, the institutional diminishment of the Valencian language , and the dominance of the Spanish language. [6] [4]
Valencian sociolinguist Rafael Ninyoles I Monllor coined the term linguistic conflict by the end of the 1960s [6] to refer to certain diglossic situations, such as the Valencian one. [4] In his late works, he described the process of the ongoing substitution of Valencian for Castilian by social elites and the resulting loss of prestige of the vernacular language. [6]
