Donate to El Calvario
Families with children fleeing life-threatening situations in Central America, Mexico, and elsewhere have asked for safety and protection in the United States. They are being allowed to enter, after being vetted by U.S. authorities to seek asylum. Border officials have determined these families fear for their lives if they return to their home countries, and are being released with court dates in their destination cities. Families are released to the care of community shelters all across the border region. El Calvario Methodist Church in Las Cruces, NM is one of these shelters. Families arrive here every week; families get a home cooked meal, they can get a warm shower, get a new set of clothes, and travel arrangements are booked for them. When vulnerable refugees have asked for help, our community has responded with compassion. We are asking the community to respond again to assist these refugees to get to their destination cities. All donations are tax deductible and will be used to assist with travel costs.
El Calvario is partnering with NM CAFe and other local organizations to assist these families in their hour of need. Please email Anselmo Delgado Martinez (firstname.lastname@example.org) to inquire about material donations, although currently monetary donations are a priority. Thank you.

to make a long story short, i went to bali during the holidays with my family. it was a 5 nights and 5 days stay; not a very long one, to be exact. ever since the beginning of 2017, i’ve been hinting my mom to schedule trips to beaches, preferably the beaches at oh i don’t know maybe BALI??? and so as you can see at the end of the year, my plan to incite my mother worked.
i traveled to bali on the 20th of december. it was a particularly sunny wednesday, despite the heavy rains that happened days before. the delay i experienced at the airport that day was the utmost unpleasant. my flight was scheduled to be at 3 p.m, but because the plane hasn’t arrived yet, it was delayed until 4.45 p.m. during the wait, i read a book my mom bought me that afternoon called the paper menagerie and other stories by ken liu (we’ll talk about this book on another post ok). i was so hooked on the book that i didn’t realize time passing by. the clock strikes the determined hour before i knew it, but strangely there were no announcements about boarding the plane. not long after that, i heard the loudspeaker stated that the plane was running late and therefore the airline had to delay the flight for another hour. right. more waiting. great.
by the time the plane was taking-off, i remember checking my phone and it was already 6 p.m. it took us about two hours to get to denpasar, and because of timezones, bali is one hour ahead of jakarta. as we arrive at the airport, i was really sleepy and was just ready to go to sleep under the warm covers of the hotel i was going to stay at. but alas, my brothers were hungry so we decided to get take-outs from burger king after we found the car we were renting. we stopped at a small local mart to buy snacks, instant noodle, sunblock, and other necessities we would need. my eldest and younger brother bought cheap sunglasses because they don’t have one. i took my time to take in the scenery of the night streets in bali. it kind of looks the same as jakarta, but has a different vibe that i am yet to understand.
we stayed at a place called tijili in seminyak. the streets in seminyak reminded me of an area called kemang in south jakarta. the two places resemble each other in a certain way. the closed small shops, dim lights, and night clubs all lined up together next to a small one-way road. it has its own atmosphere.
i woke up the next morning and head to the cafe right next to the lobby to enjoy my breakfast. okay first of all THEY SERVE THE BEST OMELETTE EVER omg i am in love. what i did was basically putting everything i could on my plate but in an equally small amount so i could taste them all. my go-to drink was pineapple juice because it tastes SO GOOD wow.
after breakfast, my family and i readied ourselves because we were going to visit my aunt and her family at ubud raya resort and hotel. the trip was soooo long. it took us about two hours to get there by car. when we finally get there, i was already hungry again. thankfully my good uncle had bought us chicken and beef packaged rice (nasi bungkus for y’all indonesians) for lunch. those were also great 10/10 would definitely eat again. on our way back to seminyak, i was in a really bad mood because i wanted to go to the beach but the others thought that it was getting late and my mom suggested we could go to kuta beachwalk instead, and so we went there. the place was relatively big, but i could find bigger malls in jakarta.
i spent my second morning in bali with fantastic breakfast at the hotel’s cafe again. the menu was different than the day before, which is nice, but i still ordered omelette because they’re really tasty. we planned to move to nusa dua that day, so we checked out on the afternoon and prepared for the road. while we were still in seminyak, i asked my mother if we could go to a certain clothing brand store because i wanted to buy a shirt from the place. according to google, the clothing brand has a small shop in seminyak; and so we head there without wasting any more time. i bought an iconic black shirt the clothing brand has which costed so much money. cries.
we stayed at tijili’s branch in nusa dua. the positive side of the place is that they have their own beach on the back side. i was so hyped the moment i knew there was a beach on plain sight. picture this, a beach i could go to whenever i want. the thought was very tantalizing for me at that time because my sole purpose was to come see and feel the ocean and the sand. after dropping my luggage, i head straight to the beach with one of my brother. y’all, i’m not exaggerating, i ran from my room with sandals because i was so excited only to be let down because the beach has small waves. sigh. i came to have a good time but i honestly feel so attacked. i mean, it was relaxing on its own way but this wasn’t the one i’ve been expecting. i imagined being splashed on the thighs for being too far away from the shore, the smell of salt water on my hair, and the strong winds. well, so much for my first beach after 5 years.
that evening, we went to the bali collection in nusa dua, some kind of outdoor mall. it was for eye-wash. you know, look-look. there was nothing much there but shops and restaurants. my mom ate at bebek bengil, while the rest of us ate at warung nasi ayam bu oki. you can see here which of us have higher taste.
the breakfast at tijili nusa dua is as good as tijili seminyak. but this time, tijili nusa dua has its restaurant right next to the private beach. so while i eat fried rice with sausages and baked wedge potatoes, i could hear the splashing of water and feel the morning wind. it has a wonderful atmosphere. 10/10.
i went to the hotel’s swimming pool with two of my brothers after eating breakfast. i didn’t want to get soaked in water so i just sat on the edge of the pool. the sun was very unkind that afternoon, fortunately i had my sunglasses on and skin protected with sunblock.
we ate lunch at a restaurant called gula bali in kuta. the place was great, with traditional garden setting and fine balinese delicacies. we spent a relatively long amount of time there until we decided to go to agung bali, a well-known souvenir store. we bought stuffs that we might use as a memento, a reminder of what it felt like being in bali. we hurried because we planned on catching the sunset at petitenget beach that evening. the beach was extraordinary. honestly. this beach is the one i was expecting. the wind was strong, the current was dragging me further into the sea, and there were a lot of stray dogs there, which made me happier.
after our trip to a REAL beach, we went to get some refreshments at a french bakery-cafe called monsieur spoon. the place has a really captivating interior; fancy chairs, curtains, and mirrors adorn the inside of the cafe. it truly feels like you’re in a cafe in france. i ordered a cup of hot chocolate and nothing else because they ran out of croissants. sigh. sad.
i spent that sunday morning going to church because my mom wanted me to accompany her so i did. but before that of course i ate breakfast first. the date was december the 24th, or the day before christmas. well i didn’t went to christmas eve service because the church turns out to be far from the place we were staying so we spent the night eating dinner at kuta beachwalk. before going to kuta beachwalk, we went to discovery mall to see the beach and just to look-look (lihat-lihat, hehe) again.
after dinner, i practically begged my mom to go to a souvenir shop because i haven’t bought anything for my friends and for me as a totem, and we were leaving bali the next day, so finally at 9.30pm we decided to go to krisna bali, a 24-hours souvenir shop. the place were still crowded during that hour. i hurried myself to buy a couple shorts, a t-shirt, some boxes of pie susu, and a few keychains. the rest of my family also bought stuffs from the place, but mostly just boxes of pie susu. we spent a lot of money on that.
my last day on bali was relatively short. like usual, i ate breakfast on the cafe at about 8 in the morning, and i already packed my bags and all of the luggage. at about 9 we arrived at the airport and bought coffee and some refreshments because we nEED OUR ADRENALINE. i forgot our departure time, but i’m sure it was about 11am. i slept during the whole flight because your girl here is tired as heck. the landing was okay, i mean nothing bad happened, and we touchdown-ed at jakarta still intact on one piece.
the trip i had to bali was definitely great, although i didn’t really achieve the part of visiting beaches 24/7. during my trip, it rained a lot so i don’t actually have the chance to freely go anywhere i want. whilst in bali, there are a couple things you should look out for, such as to not ever step on the ceremonial offerings in the street. there are a lot of them, and please try to avoid walking on them as a mark of respect the deeply spiritual people in bali.
i kind of regret not going to traditional ceremonies or going to temples and such, because i think both of those things are what makes bali the way it is. i didn’t go to a lot amazing places that i should, and i hope that i could go there on my next journey. let me know if there are places i should stop by at bali. see you.

Designed by White Studio
Very proud of my city identity. A very strong concept with all of the elements that characterizes very well my amazing city, PORTO. This project won a design contest between two other design studios all based in Porto, you can see one of the proposals for the new identity of Porto made by an amazing design studio: Atelier Martino&Jaña. In my opinion the identity created by Martino&Jana is more “out of the box” and it would be a great opportunity to give the city new colors and some “fresh air” of what is the new design this days. On the other hand the winner proposal is more easily acceptable and as well as the Martino&Jana proposal combines great design and concept.
White Studio Proposal design concept:
“Looking at Porto from an aesthetic point of view we found the inspiration we were looking for in the blue tiles spread all across the city.Although the city is known for a wide range of colorful tiles, with patterns and drawings that go from the totally geometric to the fully illustrative, only the blue tiles were used to tell stories. The blue tiles show our history, talk about the city and its landmarks, they are narrative by nature. Inspired by the stories in the tiles we developed more than seventy geometric icons that represented the city and its people. The icons were designed based on a grid that could connect them with each other, creating a continuous network that evokes a tile panel. These icons became a visual code to represent the city. A code that can live by itself, viewing each symbol individually, or as a network of symbols that show the never-ending complexity of our city. The icons could also be more illustrative, telling stories, showing the landscape, translating our passions.”


The cold icy impact that envelops Emoji Riches an enormous area of the United States throughout the colder time of year can be ruthless. In these hotter areas, you can surely send photographs of yourself at the green in 65-degree climate while your companions up in the Midwest or the Northeast are preparing themselves for two feet of snow.

Radiant Las Vegas is obviously an incredible decision for card sharks that need to get away from the unforgiving winter.
2 – WinStar World Casino Thackerville, OK
Thackerville, OK, isn’t on many individuals’ excursion list of must-dos. All things considered, WinStar World Casino is the ideal decision for a gambling club escape.
First off, WinStar is the biggest gambling club on earth. Believe it or not, the 454,000 square feet of gambling club floor makes WinStar the world’s biggest.
Besides, the geographic area of WinStar puts you just 60 miles north of Dallas, TX. The locale has extremely gentle winters, and it’s normal to see temperatures during the 60s and 70s all through the colder time of year.
Indeed, I consistently play golf in shorts, December through March, just 30 miles south of WinStar. This is advantageous assuming that you partake in the game; WinStar has a lovely 18-opening title type course.
Whenever you bet at the biggest club on the planet, you anticipate a huge load of gaming decisions. WinStar conveys in spades.

What does Wikipedia say about Oak Island?
Oak Island ( ) is a 140 acre (570,000 m²) island in Lunenberg County on the south shore of Nova Scotia, Canada. The tree-covered island is one of about 360 small islands in Mahone Bay, and rises to a maximum of 35 feet (11 m) above sea level.
The Money Pit
Oak Island is noted as the location of the so-called Money Pit, a site of numerous excavations to recover treasure believed by many to be buried there. The island is privately owned and advance permission is required for any visit.
Mid-19th century newspaper stories recount that, in 1795, young Donald Daniel McGinnis discovered a circular depression on the south eastern end of the island with an adjacent tree which had a tackle block on one of its overhanging branches. McGinnis, with the help of friends John Smith and Anthony Vaughan, excavated the depression and discovered a layer of flagstones a few feet below. On the pit walls there were visible markings from a pick. As they dug down they discovered layers of logs at about every ten feet (3 m). They abandoned the excavation at 30 feet (10 m).
About eight years later, according to the original nineteenth century article, another company examined what was to become known as the Money Pit. The Onslow Company sailed 300 nautical miles from central Nova Scotia near Truro to Oak Island with the goal of recovering what they believed to be secret treasure. They continued the excavation down to approximately 90 feet (27.43 m), and found layers of logs or "marks" about every ten feet (3 m) and layers of charcoal, putty and coconut fibre at 40, 50 and 60 feet (12, 15 and 18 m).
According to one of the earliest written accounts, a newspaper article called "The Oak Island Diggings" from the Liverpool Transcript (Oct 1862), at 80 or 90 feet (27 m) they recovered a large stone bearing an inscription of symbols. The pit subsequently flooded up to the 33-foot (10 m) level. Bailing did not reduce the water level and the excavation was abandoned.
Investors formed The Truro Company in 1849, which re-excavated the shaft back down to the 86 foot (26 m) level, where it flooded again. They then drilled into the ground below the bottom of the shaft. According to the nineteenth century account, the drill or "pod auger" passed through a spruce platform at 98 feet (30 m), a 12-inch head space, 22 inches (560 mm) of what was described as "metal in pieces", 8 inches (200 mm) of oak, another 22 inches (560 mm) of metal, 4 inches (100 mm) of oak, another spruce layer, and finally into clay for 7 feet without striking anything else.
One account states they recovered three small gold links of a chain from mud stuck to the drill. They attempted to prevent the pit from flooding by damming Smith's Cove, and later by excavating a shaft into what was believed to be a flood tunnel from the sea to block it and prevent the pit from filling with water.
The original 18th Century story of the pit's discovery along with the mid-19th century newspaper accounts are based on unverified folklore and may be entirely false. The earliest published description of the Money Pit is a news article in the Liverpool Transcript newspaper in October 1862. This included an oral account of the early years of excavation attempts as told by at least one digger. No supporting material or evidence has surfaced ever since, and the story has been impossible to verify. Several researchers have noted that artifacts like the inscribed stone and gold chain links could have been placed in the pit during expensive excavation operations for the purpose of attracting more investors.
The Money Pit was first mentioned in print by the Liverpool Transcript in October, 1856. More accounts followed in the Liverpool Transcript, the Novascotian newspaper and A History Of Lunenburg County *, but this last account was based on the earlier Liverpool Transcript articles and does not represent an independent source.
The next excavation attempt was made in 1861 by a new company called the Oak Island Association and apparently led to the collapse of the bottom of the shaft into a suspected void or booby trap underneath. The first fatality during excavations occurred when the boiler of a pumping engine burst. The company gave up when their funds were exhausted in 1864.
Further excavations were made in 1866, 1893, 1909, 1931,1935, 1936, and 1959, none of which were successful. Franklin Roosevelt (later President of the United States) was part of the Old Gold Salvage group of 1909 and kept up with news and developments for most of his life. About six people have been killed in accidents during various excavations.
In 1928, a New York newspaper printed a feature story about the strange history of the island. Gilbert Hedden, operator of a steel fabricating concern, saw the article and was fascinated by the engineering problems in recovering the putative treasure. Hedden collected books and articles on the island, and made six trips there. Wholly convinced that there was buried treasure on Oak Island, Mr. Hedden even ventured to England to converse with Harold Tom Wilkins, the author of Captain Kidd and His Skeleton Island. Gilbert believed he had found a link between Oak Island and a mysterious map in Wilkins' book.
The very wealthy Hedden then bought the southeast end of the island. He did not start digging until the summer of 1935, following excavations by William Chappell in 1931. In 1939, he even informed King George VI of England about developments on Oak Island.
The 1931 excavations by William Chappell sank a 163 foot shaft 12x14 feet to the southwest of what they believed was the site of the 1897 shaft, close to the original pit. At 127 feet, a number of artifacts, including an axe, anchor fluke, and pick were found. The pick has been identified as a Cornish miner's poll pick. By this time the entire area around the Money Pit was littered with the debris and refuse of numerous prior excavation attempts so it is unlikely the pick belonged to the original party (if any) that created the hole.
In 1965, Robert Dunfield leased the island and, using a 70-ton digging crane with a clam bucket, dug out the pit area to a depth of 140 feet (43 m) and width of 100 feet (30 m). The removed soil was carefully inspected for artifacts. As a result, the location of the original shaft is no longer known. Transportation of the crane to the island required the construction of a causeway (which still exists) from the western end of the island to Crandall's Point on the mainland two hundred meters away.
Around 1969, Daniel C. Blankenship and David Tobias formed Triton Alliance, Ltd. and bought most of the island. In 1971, Triton workers excavated a 235 foot (72 m) shaft supported by a steel caisson to bedrock. Cameras lowered down the shaft into a cave below were said to have recorded the presence of some chests, human remains, wooden cribbing and tools, but the images were unclear and none of these claims have been confirmed. The shaft subsequently collapsed and the excavation was again abandoned. This shaft was later successfully re-dug to 181 feet, reaching bedrock; work was halted due to lack of funds.
The Money Pit Mystery was the subject of an episode of the television series In Search of... which first aired January 18, 1979, bringing the legend of Oak Island to a wider audience. Previously the story had only been known among locals, treasure hunting groups, and readers of sensational magazines and anthologies. The island has been loosely associated with the Freemasons and Templars, but none of this is proven.
As of 2005, a portion of the island was for sale with an estimated price tag of $7 million. A group called the Oak Island Tourism Society had hoped the Government of Canada would purchase the island, but a group of American businessmen in the drilling industry did so instead.
It was announced in April 2006 that partners from Michigan purchased a 50% stake in Oak Island Tours Inc., for an undisclosed amount of money. The shares were previously owned by David Tobias, and the remaining shares are owned by Dan Blankenship. Allan Kostrzewa, a member of the 'Michigan Group', purchased Lot 25 from David Tobias for a reported $230,000 one year previously. Working closely with Dan Blankenship, the 'Michigan Group' has said they will resume operations on Oak Island in the hope of discovering buried treasure.
Treasure hunters discovered coconut fibres beneath the surface of one beach (coconuts are not indigenous to Nova Scotia). This led to the theory that the beach had been converted into a giant "wick", feeding water from the ocean into the pit. Another theory is that the coconut fibers were used to make a form of putty to seal oak platforms set at various depths in the pit.
Coconut fibres were also used as shipping dunnage and some say that the fibres may have been discarded from cargo ships stopping at the island or sailing nearby. The purpose, and indeed the very existence, of these fibers and putty have been a source of heated debate among Oak Island researchers.
Oak Island lies on a glacial tumulus system and is underlain by a series of water-filled limestone cavities (Anhydrite) which could be responsible for the repeated flooding of the pit. Bedrock lies at a depth of 160–180 feet in the Money Pit area.
Upon the invitation of Boston-area businessman David Mugar, a two-week survey was conducted by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in 1995, the only scientific study ever conducted on the site. After running dye tests in the bore hole, they concluded that the flooding was caused by a natural interaction between the island's freshwater lens and tidal pressures in the underlying geology, refuting the idea of artificially constructed "box drains" or flood tunnels. Scientists who viewed some of the videos taken in 1971 concluded that nothing of value could be determined from the murky images.
There has been wide speculation about what the pit might contain. Most suggestions include treasure buried by either Captain Kidd, British troops during the American revolution, Spanish sailors from a wrecked galleon, the Inca or even exiled Knights Templar hiding the Holy Grail in the pit. A theory published by Penn Leary in his The Oak Island enigma: A history and inquiry into the origin of the money pit from 1953, claims that English philosopher Francis Bacon used the pit to hide documents proving him to be the author of William Shakespeare's plays, a theory recently picked up on in the book Organisten (The Organ Player) by Norwegian Petter Amundsen and novelist Erlend Loe.
The notorious pirate Edward Teach (Blackbeard) claimed he buried his treasure "where none but Satan and myself can find it," leading to inevitable suggestions that he dug the pit, but there is no evidence to support this. The pit may contain nothing at all. Since the 1970s fewer people have believed the pit has any connection to pirates, due to the massive scale of the subterranean structure and its similarity to other natural formations found in the area.
The cipher stone (which disappeared from the island in 1919) has been translated many times with multiple decoders to read "Forty feet bellow lies two million pounds." Even this has been argued to be a hoax despite its appearing in nearly all early accounts of the island. A cipher key and a coded message have been linked to masonic vaults.
History or legend?
The story of the money is largely unverified and the gap of sixty years between the supposed discovery and the first known reports is very long. There is no surviving evidence that the nine platforms existed. Indeed, it is noteworthy that almost all of the debris, lost tools and other items mentioned in the early accounts have not been found. This includes the two links from the gold chain, the inscribed stone, and even the tree itself. The piece of parchment apparently does exist and is in the possesion of Dan Blankenship.
Many elements contained in the Oak Island story, such as the discovery of tantalising but inconclusive objects and a message in indecipherable code, are common in fictional works on treasure and piracy (such as the Edgar Allan Poe story The Gold Bug). This has led many to conclude that the early account of the Money Pit is a romanticised combination of several works of nineteenth century fiction conflated with a local story about a search for buried treasure.

5. Early Yurok Pestle
Early Yurok Stone Pestle
Height – 6 1/2″ Width at base- 3 1/2″
From collection of John Dewar
He was the Curator of the Los Angeles Museum of Natural History and the Southwest Museum. He was born in Pasadena, CA and graduated from the College of Mexico City in the early 30’s and then moved back to the Los Angeles area to begin his job as curator. He also traveled to the Hopi Pueblos and over to the Santa Fe area in 1934 and then up the coast of N. California around 1935. Most of the items he collected there were Yurok, although most of his ethnographic collection was given to the Southwest Museum in 1941. After he retired he moved to Patagonia, Arizona until he passed away in 2004. I bought his estate just this past year.


If you haven’t been to a race at Pineland before, it can be a bit confusing where to go. The Outdoor Center? Nope. The Farm? Not there either. Although ski trails do start in both those places, all of the races take place on the Oak Hill on the opposite side of Intervale Road.
TO WATCH: Use 1370 Intervale Road, New Gloucester to get you close to the race location (the entrance to the course is diagonally across the street from the skating pond). However, the small parking lot at the pond will not have spaces available.
TO PARK: Try the lot on Allen Road just past the Pineland garden that is on the corner of Allen/Intervale/Morse. If that’s closed, park near the Conference Center building visible from Intervale Road.
Please see the attached map for more specific information about parking options and exact race location. And always feel free to reach out to one of us with any questions!


California State University, Hayward
Undergraduate students in the United States have become responsive to the international dimensions of Hispanic geography and social history. But the discipline of linguistics often conjures up fears of theoretical dogma, thorny terminology, and perplexing detail. It seems preferable, then, to introduce students to Spanish linguistics via the geography and history of Hispanic society itself. In this paper I offer a classroom model for this type of «external» approach. Historical topics such as the role of Romans, Arabs, and African Blacks, when combined with features of male and female speech and dialectal traits of the Spanish of Madrid or Havana may stimulate undergraduate minds to delve further into the internal evolution and linguistic form of the language they are studying.56
Graduate students of Spanish the world over are familiar with Rafael Lapesa's Historia de la lengua española, now in its 9th edition (1981). This classic volume provides details of internal linguistic development (e.g., sound changes, verb forms, pronouns, vocabulary) and outlines the history of Spanish literary style as reflected for the most part in Peninsular (Castilian) texts. I, on the other hand, propose treating language development both in Spain and America, stressing geography and social history rather than topics in historical grammar and literary style. In this paper, as in the classroom, I minimize the use of specialized vocabulary, thus avoiding the pitfall, on the undergraduate level, of extensive linguistic theorizing.
The first half of the model is historically motivated and begins in Spain with the Romanization and subsequent Christianizing of Iberia's native Celtic and Iberian populations. In succeeding centuries these Ibero-Roman Christians would intermingle with Arabs, Moors and Jews in Spain, then American Indians and African Blacks in America, and more recently with varied West and East Europeans as well as Asians in parts of Latin America. During this first phase of study, linguistic terminology is introduced piecemeal: e.g., the terms 'spoken', 'popular', or, 'vulgar' Latin during the Roman period; the terms 'language' and 'dialect', 'Spanish' and 'Castilian' when presenting the ascendance of the Castilian dialect to national language status; the subfields of 'phonology', 'morphology', 'syntax', and 'vocabulary' or 'lexicon' when discussing classical (16th century) Spanish. During this phase, students come to appreciate the birth and infancy, maturation and flourishing of the language on both sides of the Atlantic.
The second half of the program is geo-linguistically oriented and begins with the dialectal areas of contemporary Spain. With the exceptions of Basque or Euskera and Romany (the language spoken by gypsies among themselves), the languages and dialects of the Iberian Peninsula are the surviving offspring of spoken Latin. However, beginning with Spain's Golden Age, most languages and dialects other than Castilian have languished, and some have virtually perished. Only within the last two decades have public awareness and government legislation fostered an appreciation of Spain's 'minority' languages -Catalan, Euskera, and Galician- and, to a lesser extent, the Asturian and Aragonese dialects.
Although any attempt to divide Latin American Spanish into
airtight dialectal zones is destined
Allow me now to illustrate various topics in Spanish language history. Although in the classroom I proceed chronologically and treat both the social history and linguistic dimension of Hispanic society, here I shall synthesize by grouping topics linguistically, respecting the traditional headings of vocabulary (lexicon), sounds (phonology), and word and sentence formation (morphology and syntax).57
Spanish language history abounds with geographical references and cultural terms easily accessible to undergraduate students58. The Greeks referred to the eastern half of the Peninsula as Iberia, a term related to the Ebro (<IBERUS) River. Centuries later the Romans gave the name Hispania, thought to be Phoenician in origin and presumed to mean 'land of rabbits', to the entire Peninsula. The everyday Latin spoken by the Roman legionnaires, merchants, and colonizers, known to us as 'popular' or 'spoken' or 'vulgar' Latin, was especially graphic: and so, for example, casa originally meant 'hut' or 'cabin', caballus was an 'old nag'; and the diminutive vetulu meant 'little old man', cultellu, 'small knife', auricula, 'tiny ear'. On a more abstract level, and as a consequence of Roman Catholic preaching, Hispanic Latin received such terms as ángel, diablo, iglesia, cementerio, palabra, talento, pagano, most of these terms ultimately of Greek origin.
The multi-ethnic flavor of Hispanic society was reinforced in 711 with the Muslim invasion from North Africa. Al-Andalus, or Arabic Spain, was populated by diverse ethnic groups, namely, Arabs, Moors (northwest Africans), Jews, muladíes (Hispano-Roman converts to Islam), and mozárabes (Hispano-Romans who maintained their Christian traditions). The numerous words of Arabic origin that passed into the spoken Spanish of the mozárabes and then into the neo-Latin dialects of the Christian North bear witness to the material and intellectual wealth of the Arab world. The lexical fields of agriculture and commerce (e.g., aceite, azúcar, algodón, tarifa, almacén), science, mathematics, and geography (alcohol, álgebra, Madrid, Guadalajara), and home and religion (alfombra, alcoba, mezquita, ojalá) are the most indebted to the Arabic connection.
In Christian territories, meanwhile, 'Castilla' received its name (<Latin plural CASTELLA, 'place of castles') after the kings of Leon ordered the construction of hundreds of fortifications against Moorish attack along the southern fringes of Castile. The inhabitants of these territories identified themselves as cristianos, the term español, first used in Provenzal, not becoming current in Castilian until the 12th and 13th centuries. During this period the road to Santiago was travelled by pilgrims from north of the Pyrenees and, with French priests officiating en route, an early wave of gallicisms, like fraile, monje, monasterio, vinagre, jamón, entered the language. In 13th century Toledo, the words of law, science, and history elaborated in Castilian under the sponsorship of Alfonso X 'el Sabio' incorporated such new terms as teatro, tribu, dictador, dictadura, tirano, as well as the (now) archaic horizon and humido59. Castilian was now in the prime of its Old Spanish form. Its use extended into the realms of political and cultural expression; its domain was penetrating Aragon to the east, Leon to the west. Still further west, the independent kingdom of Portugal began to cast official documents in its own Romance vernacular; the linguistic map of Iberia was already approaching its modern configuration.
During the second half of the 16th century, the cultural
prestige of Castile and the installation of the royal court at Madrid in 1561
firmly established the pre-eminence of Castilian speech habits. Spanish
vocabulary became modernized as outmoded terms (e.g,
agora, ansí) retired to
rural status, and a host of foreign terms streamed in from (late) Renaissance
balcón, novela, zócalo,
cantina, banco, crédito). And a strange new presence now was
felt -an 'Indianization' of Spanish vocabulary- as the language adapted to the
flora, fauna, and customs of a new world. An instructive inventory of American
Indian words may be organized around their geo-tribal original sources: from
the Caribbean tribes,
caribe, canoa, papaya, maíz,
huracán; from Mexican Aztec or Nahuatl,
chile, cacao, guacamole, mezquite, tomate,
chocolate; from Andean Quechua or Aymara,
coca, papa, alpaca; from jungle
Guarani, transmitted to Spanish via Brazilian
The 18th century witnessed the dismembering of Spain's European empire and a reorganization of internal affairs according to models laid down by new Bourbon kings and their ministers. French culture propagated an impressive wave of gallicisms that reflected Europe's newly ascendant commercialism (billete, botella, equipaje, chaqueta, galleta, frambuesa, pantalón, musulmán, hotel). On a more learned plane, scientists and academics avidly incorporated words of Greek origin, words that often ended in (accented or unaccented) -ía or -ia (dinastía, filosofía, autopsia, farmacia) or were accented on the third-from-last syllable (periódico, gramática, antiséptico, botánica).
20th century Spanish has experienced an invasion of Anglicisms, most notably in the fields of politics and technology, sports and psychology. Examples abound, from blatant neologisms (mitin, estándar, misil, síquico, estrés), to more subtle Latin tappings (campus, versus, discriminar, emergencia), and finally words of Latin origin that have extended their meanings to keep abreast of 20th century affairs (cumbre, agresivo, operar, canal, computadora).
The Spanish language is accommodating of dialectal preferences. In Latin America, for example, the words tamales ('stuffed corn husks') in Mexico, huaso ('cowboy') in Chile, and santería (a belief system combining Catholic and African elements) in some Caribbean areas all reflect local practices not typical of neighboring territories. Other words and phrases, though encountered on both sides of the Atlantic, are nonetheless at variance (tinto refers to 'wine' in Spain but to 'black coffee' in Colombia; la radio, la sartén in Spain, el radio, el sartén in much of America). Still other variants involve unique lexical choices (piscina in Spain, alberca in Mexico, pileta in Argentina; barrios bajos in Spain, callampa in Chile, villa miseria in Argentina). Vocabulary is the linguistic realm that reflects most readily the political, social, and cultural forces responsible for language change. Vocabulary is also a sturdy ground on which to paint an arresting portrait of language structure, that is, the sounds, grammatical forms and sentence types that give Spanish its distinctive expression.
The sound system of Spanish has evolved over a 2000 year period from spoken Latin; the study of this evolution often looms as an intricate web of exotic terminology and rigorous phonetic detail61. To avoid entanglement, one sound or one basic concept may be selected from each era of Hispanic history for its relevance to later stages of language development. For example, the vowel system of spoken Latin, with its seven vowel sounds each formed differently within the mouth, may lead to an understanding of the process of diphthongization in Castilian (terra, with open e>tierra; porta, with open o>puerta). With Spanish of the Golden Age, we see a quasi-standardized stage of development with medieval traits eliminated (e.g., word initial f->h-> omission) and consonantal changes (e.g., Castilian //) reaching their modern stages.
An especially instructive case of a conservative vs. innovative split in Spanish language history is the behavior of the sound /s/62. In Old and New Castile, during the first part of the 17th century, urban speakers were already observing the Castilian distinction /s/ vs. // as in casa/caza. By this time Andalusian Spanish, especially in its central and southern varieties, was moving further ahead by merging the /s/ vs. // distinction, pronouncing both sounds as /s/. What is more, Andalusians were often aspirating syllable-final (-s), pronouncing it as /-h/: mi/h/mo, tiene/h/. Culturally, Seville had become the hub of migratory activities where sailors, soldiers, settlers, merchants, and missionaries converged from all parts of Iberia before setting out for the New World. Seville was regularly exporting not only commercial items but social customs, not the least of which were its regional varieties of pronunciation. Subsequent emigrants to American port cities -Havana, Vera Cruz, Cartagena, Guayaquil- reinforced this early Andalusian imprint. However, in Lima, Peru and in the American cordilleras in the political, ecclesiastical, and academic power centers of central Mexico, Ecuador, Peru, and later in Bogotá, the force of tradition counteracted some -but not all- of the Andalusian traits; this linguistic conservatism was cultivated by administrators and clerks from central and northern Spain and was fostered by academics in America's newly founded universities.
The 20th century dialects of Spanish are nearly always
mutually comprehensible, despite local differences of pitch and accent.
Castilian practices the // vs /s/ distinction, as in
cocer/coser, and pronounces /s/
with hints of // (that is, pronounced with the tip
of the tongue turned slightly upward; cf. English
Dialectal innovations are audible in other phonetic environments as well: for example, whether intervocalic (-d-) and word-final (-d) are deleted (mercado = /merkao/; verdad = /berda/), as is common in Madrid, or retained, as in central Mexico; or whether (l) is substituted for (r) or (r) for (l) (puerta>/puelta/, alma>/arma/), as in popular Andalusian and much Caribbean vernacular. In Buenos Aires today, to cite a more current innovation, all younger generation speakers pronounce (y) and (ll) yo me llamo-as // (as in English show); older generation speakers tend to use // (as in Zsa Zsa), this latter pronounciation, until recent times, having been associated with the Spanish of Río de la Plata (Fontanella de Weinberg 1983:105). When dialectal varieties are presented in the classroom, they come to life for students if native speakers demonstrate them, recorded tapes capture them, and videos picture Hispanics communicating on their own turf.
Popular Latin streamlined words and sentences for use in the spontaneous speech of the home and market place. Its grammar and word order were relatively simple; sentences were short; newly formed auxiliary words, verb tenses, and prepositions made their appearance. Throughout the periods of primitive-Romance (mainly the 5th-9th centuries) and Old Spanish (10th-15th centuries), Ibero-Romance capitalized upon these tendencies while elaborating newer ones of its own. Later, the Golden Age of the 16th and 17th centuries brought a period of linguistic stabilization in which, as examples, haber and tener and ser and estar, which in Old Spanish had overlapped in many contexts, each took on distinctive functions.
The Hispanic system of interpersonal address will display the complexities of sociolinguistic interplay63. Classical Latin provided the basic pronouns of address by expressing singular 'I' and 'you' as ego and tu; plural 'we' and `you' were nos and vos, pure and simple. In popular Latin and later in Old Spanish, vos (+2nd-person plural verb) became polite and respectful address for singular 'you'; tú (+2nd singular verb) was relegated to informal and condescending use. By the time of Spain's Golden Age, the language, expressing a Hispanic concern with power and prestige, developed a new courtly term -vuessa merced (<vuestra merced)- which became fashionable exchange between distant peers; similarly, it was mandated for inferior to superior use to indicate deference and respect. Familiar peers became tú; but tú, when directed at inferiors, emphasized their subordinate status. By this time the urban speech of Madrid, Seville, Mexico, and Lima had stigmatized Old Spanish vos. As a consequence, and to cite one case in point, it was being eliminated by the Peninsular and criollo populations in America who had used it to address mestizo, Black, and Indian subordinates. However, in outlying areas of the American colonial empire -southern Mexico, Central America, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay- vos maintained its vitality and has survived into our own times as a vestige of rustic Golden Age usage.
The contemporary dialects of Spanish continue to juggle the
pronouns of address. Castilian and Andalusian preserve the distinction
tú in ever widening
circles, including commercial interchanges between office workers and in some
lower and middle-class stores when addressing sales clerks. Caribbean Spanish,
except when addressing the aged, favors
usted, a situation reinforced in
Cuba during the Castro regime. Central Mexico respects the
usted distinction but, as
tú to encroach on terrain
once reserved for
usted. In Central American speech,
usted is the pronoun of prestige;
curiously though, young children may
Vivid anecdotes of language use in society bring into focus the human dimension of linguistic science. Here are a few examples of linguistic lore, the first a lesson in ethnicity.
The presence of three races in colonial Latin America provoked Old World prejudices to maintain a caste-like pyramid of social and economic control that descended from the aristocracy down to peons and slaves, the designations quite often underscoring a European scorn for non-Europeans64. Occupying top position in the secular, military, and ecclesiastic realms were the virreyes, the capitanes, and the obispos, most of them from central or northern Spain and consequently speakers of Castilian Spanish. A full notch below them were white children born in America of European parents; for this second class of citizens Spanish adapted the Portuguese designation (i.e., crioulo) as criollo. Later on, los negros criollos designated blacks born in America, while los bozales was used for blacks born in Africa and brought forcibly into the Empire. Below the white criollos were los mestizos (<Latin MIXTICIUS, 'mixed'), Latin Americans of combined European (Spanish or Portuguese) and Indian blood lines. Still further down the social scale were Americans of mixed European and black descent to whom colonial society applied the term mulato (Spanish mulo + the ending -ato, 'offspring of an hybrid animal'). The Latin word SCAMBUS means 'bow-legged'. Hispanics adapted the term as zambo and applied it to the offspring of a black and Indian or, in the Andean region, to any mulatto. Finally, the masses of the American population were called «Indians». The word indio is from Greek Indos and originally referred to the Indus River, a reminder that the earliest explorers confused pre-Columbian natives with the population of Asia. Each of these terms invites further probings into etymological origins, regional semantic distinctions and, for enthusiastic students, into historical phonological development.
I shall treat specifics of dates and names only in passing. Consider, for example, the pivotal year 1492: in January of this year the small Moorish kingdom of Granada succumbed to the superior forces of Ferdinand and Isabella. On March 31, «Their most Catholic Majesties» issued the now infamous Edicto de Expulsión. Accordingly, more than 100,000 Sephardic Jews (<Sepharadh, Biblical name for Spain; cf. Obadiah 3:20) left by land for Portugal and by sea for north African and east Mediterranean ports. The Spanish they have spoken since the expulsion, conserving archaic features such as /z/ (like English s in music) -casa, hermozo- has come to be known as 'Jewish Spanish' or as 'Ladino'. Regrettably this dialect, spoken mainly by an older population over 50 years of age, now hobbles along the road toward extinction.65
In August 1492 Columbus's first expedition set out carrying with it the seeds of a nascent Hispanic empire. The first landfalls occurred in the Caribbean, thus initiating a period of some 20 years during which Hispanic customs and traditions, including Spanish with its Andalusian variants, were transplanted to the islands and coasts of the area where they sprouted in a new mestizo variety. August 1492 also saw the publication of (Andalusian born) Antonio de Nebrija's Arte de la lengua castellana, the first printed grammar of any modern language and regarded as the cornerstone of Spanish linguistic studies.66
In 1713, the newly created
Real Academia Española proclaimed
its purpose of fixing (that is, standardizing) the language and preserving its
purity. The Academia produced its prestigious
Diccionario de Autoridades, later (in
Ortographía, and later still
(1771) an official
Issues of bilingualism figure prominently in the Hispanic mosaic today68. Attempting to accommodate their inherent multi-ethnicity, Peru, Paraguay, and Spain have officially recognized languages other than Spanish although Spanish, invariably, is the idiom of social prestige and economic clout. In Paraguay, for example, Spanish prevails in journalism, commerce, administration and academia, despite the official names of corresponding enterprises which very frequently are from Guarani; Guarani, in addition, is heard in casual chatter on the streets and at home. In Spain today, of her «minority» languages -Catalan, Euskera, Galician- only Catalan vies with Spanish, and then only in Catalonia; even in the Catalan subdialectal areas of the Baleares and Valencia, one is much more likely to hear Castilian spoken than mallorquín or valenciano, a consequence of centuries of linguistic imperialism exerted from Castile.
Following massive 20th century immigration from Mexico, the Antilles, Central and South America, the United States today has become one of the five largest Spanish-speaking countries in the world. In areas such as Miami and East Los Angeles, Spanish is quite often the first language in Hispanic homes, churches, and social meeting places but, except in Puerto Rico, English imposes itself in institutional settings -legal, medeval, political. In its U.S.A. home, Spanish runs a gamut extending from standard Latin American Spanish, spoken with dialectal differences by educated immigrants, through the vernacular of the masses, to the mixture of Spanish and English referred to as 'code-switching'.69
We have examined a classroom model in which geography and external social history point to the internal processes responsible for language change. This approach turns out to be three-pronged, with history furnishing the sociocultural backdrop, linguistics providing basic theoretical underpinning, and the canvassing of Hispanic dialects demonstrating the link between history and language, linguistics and society. Hispanic culture in the 21st century most assuredly will continue along its multi-cultural path. It is our professional responsibility, as well as pleasure, to sensitize our students to the two millennia of Hispanic ethnic history and so to the richly variegated fortunes of the Spanish language itself.
