Isi artikel

This article considers a number of factors that have contributed to the long-standing conflict between Spanish and English in Puerto Rico. Among them are the historical imposition of English as part of a heavy- handed Americanization the critical role of party politics in the consideration of linguistic and cultural questions, the socioeconomic schisms in Puerto Rican society and their linguistic and educational ramifications, and a host of pedagogical problems that stem from an overly centralized and politicized school system in economic crisis. The article then notes ways in which a language planning perspective could help defuse the conflict and arrive at functionally adequate policies in keeping with the Puerto Rican people's desire for self-determination. Finally, the article specifies concrete roles for English language professionals in the planning effort
