Tagged: family, latin america, Professor, SpainPosted on: November 27th, 2007
Luis Gabriel-Stheeman, associate professor of Spanish, spoke on the importance of making the Spanish language uniform, both in Spain and in Latin America, in his lecture titled “It’s All in the Family: Language, Nation and Market in 21st Century Spain,” on Nov. 15.
“Spain has four, some say five, official languages,” Gabriel-Stheeman said. He explained that different areas of Spain deviated from the original form of Latin centuries ago when the Moors invaded.”*
