Description
Summary:Encouraged by the success of the session on 'Spanglish' organized by the AATSP last year at the MLA Convention in Boston (see the 2013 MLA Convention Feature in Hispania 96.3), the AATSP organized a follow-up session this year in Chicago, this time focusing on the use of code-switching between English and Spanish in literary writings rather than in oral interaction among bilinguals. Its title (which preserves the popular name of code-switching as 'Spanglish,' to facilitate understanding) was 'English-Spanish Code-switching in Literary Texts: Is It Still Spanglish as We Know It?'
